at. 

Thanks!

Subject: Re: [sword-app-tech] DSpace SWORD deposit using BagIt and OAI:ORE

Hi Bill,

There's also some DSpace + BagIt work in the Replication Task Suite addon which 
can generate Archival Information Packages (AIPs), either METS-based AIPs or 
BagIt-based AIPs, for all content within DSpace. 
These AIPs can be used to backup/restore DSpace or copy/move content between 
DSpace instances. However, it does not involve OAI-ORE at this time.

It also is not currently connected up to DSpace's SWORD server. So, you cannot 
currently deposit these AIPs via SWORD. Though, since DSpace's SWORD server is 
configurable, I suspect it should not be difficult to configure it to accept 
these AIPs (likely just need a simple SWORD plugin to call the Replication Task 
Suite code). This likely would be something that others would find useful as 
well.

Overview: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/ReplicationTaskSuite
Code at: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-replicate

In any case, whatever work you do, I do suggest trying to post your code up in 
a public area (GitHub or similar) and making others aware of it. I keep hearing 
of folks that are interested in DSpace + BagIt, but the projects are not easy 
to locate. So, if you are looking for more collaborators, you also may wish to 
post about this on the dspace-devel mailing list, and/or create a wiki page in 
the DSpace Wiki.

Good luck,

Tim
