Hi Keith, For a great intro to SWORD this is a good place to start - especially the SWORD course section: http://swordapp.org/
For DSpace you must ensure your SWORD/SWORDv2 config files are correct and that you have a valid service document, since that is what any client will use to connect and deposit to your repository. Yours is at http://udspace.udel.edu/swordv2/servicedocument and it requires a login to the repository in order to display/download. If you want to use SWORD, the user must have DSpace deposit rights to the repository to connect and upload deposits. Which client you use is entirely up to you, it will depend on your comfort with various programming languages. I have been testing various SWORDv2 clients in order to update our DSpace 5 repository from our CRIS system. There have been issues with almost all the ones I have tried with multipart deposits and/or file upload sizes. Currently I am using the python client from here: https://bitbucket.org/beno/python-sword2/overview There are some excellent directions for use in the wiki - I am going to see if I can set a retry on the package upload code since I have mixed success with any file size over 80MB. Anything smaller appears to work fine. We have been having issues with file timeouts for uploads using Tomcat 7 or later although it seems to work fine with Tomcat 6. I suspect that might be due to some changes to Tomcat using Servlet 3 and/or memory handling. I have previously used the PHP EasyDeposit client with mixed success - if you are only looking to deposit items and not change them or update/delete them then you might like this implementation since it's SWORD although I think there might be an updated version for SWORDv2. The best place to look is github for updated client developments of code https://github.com/swordapp although sourceforge still has the original downloads and mailing list info https://sourceforge.net/projects/sword-app/ You will find Python, Java, Ruby and PHP clients/API and servers for SWORD and SWORD2 on github. A lot of the original coding work was done by Richard Jones (https://cottagelabs.com/people/richard )and Stuart Lewis (https://github.com/stuartlewis who still maintains the PHP library) You can also subscribe to the swordapp-tech mailing list (https://sourceforge.net/p/sword-app/mailman/sword-app-tech /) although it is really low traffic at the moment. If you have any further questions you are welcome to email me off list. :) Cheers, Shannon Shannon Searle Library Systems Integration and Development Officer Building 70, Barrington Library Cranfield University, SN6 8LA s.sea...@cranfield.ac.uk<mailto:s.sea...@cranfield.ac.uk> From: dspace-tech@googlegroups.com [mailto:dspace-tech@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Keith Jones Sent: 13 April 2016 14:14 To: DSpace Technical Support <dspace-tech@googlegroups.com> Subject: [dspace-tech] Sword Questions Hi, Does anyone have any links to sword clients that I could use to test sword on my repository. Does sword use the dspace database for checking who has access permissions? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Technical Support" group.
