Hi Glen and Mark,
Here I'd like to give a summary of all my testing results and see if
that makes sense to use SWORD in such situation -
(Note, I'm using Fedora SWORD 1.2)
1. My first testing was getting a zipped DSpace SIP package and upload
zip (mimetype as application/zip) -
1> Using METSDSpaceSIP package, uploaded zip file as it is
2> Using METS package, uploaded content files only, in my case, three
pdf files, and mets file was ignored
2. getting a zipped DSpace AIP package, upload using METS package, and
mimetype as application/zip
got ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
3. Using mets.xml extracted from DSpace AIP package (added absolute
file path to the file), upload using METS package, mimetype is text/xml
Here is the list of datastreams in fedora after uploading
1> DC - Dublin Core Metadata
2> RELS-EXT
3> MODS (extracted from ingested mets file)
4> DIM (extracted from ingested mets file)
5> bitstream_2 (ingested file in mets file section)
6> METS (METS as it was deposited)
It looks like the third method is suitable to use though I need to fix
the file path. However, I realize that we also need to remove
thumbnail and extracted txt so they won't be uploaded to fedora and
probably provenance information too. Having an xslt to pre-process AIP
mets before uploading might be a good idea. Of course, I also need to
make sure islandora is happy with the format.
Thanks,
Ying

Hi Mark,
I think I've misunderstood what Ying was trying to do, I though it
was a plain METS document being submitted rather than a METS
document in a zip file which was why you would need a http URL or
relative file URL for the sword-fedora plugin to find what it needs
to ingest. If you want to submit a zip file with a METS manifest you
could use a mime-type of application/zip and a packaging of http://www.loc.gov/METS/
and looking at the code it will add any dmdSecs as metadata
datastreams in Fedora and any files it finds in the zip file.
Its not the ideal way of doing it as you mention below, ideally it
should take the METS file as a manifest and understand the myriad of
URL possibilities and only ingest the items mentioned in the METS
file but the way it works currently may be enough to get Ying
started. As it currently doesn't parse the METS:file section it
shouldn't matter if the LOCTYPE is URL or something else (assuming
I'm reading the code correctly).
Sorry for the confusion but hope this is a possible solution.
Thanks
Glen

I assume the file at that point is in some tomcat temp directory
and expanded into a directory with a list of files. Changing the
AIP on the DSpace side is either changing java code and rebuilding,
or transforming the packages after they have been generated.
My point is that the logic of xlink is that like its html
conterparts, an IRI/URL may be a path relative to the document. In
such cases, it really should not matter "where" the document resides.
.../mypackage/mets.xml
.../mypackage/bitstream_613090.jpeg
http://host/mypackage/mets.xml
http://host/mypackage/bitstream_613090.jpeg
zip:file://./mypackage.zip!/bitstream_613090.jpeg
These are all valid IRI/URL
Maybe I'm just arguing semantics here, but the specified behavior
for LOCTYPE = URL shouldn't force users to only be able to use a
subset of XLINK/IRI/URL possibilities in METS. In fact, for proper
portability, relative linking is a necessity. This seems a bug in
the Fedora METS import code.
Mark
If its inside html, METS or some other xml, the definition applies
that the applicatin should interpret relative xlinks as relative to
the document, regardless of the protocol (file, http, ftp, ...)

Hi Mark & Ying,
I think if you use a local file rather than a http URL then it will
be relative to something unhelpful like the tomcat directory where
the fedora-sword package is installed. The best solution is
probably to change the links to http URLs if you can and if not if
you could change the file paths to absolute (assuming the files are
on the same server the fedora sword web app is installed).
I hope that helps.
Cheers
Glen
