Hi Tim and Joseph, Our work towards introducing a new DSpace 7 integration for Elements is progressing well. The first phase of the integration will be included in our release next week (Elements v6.8) and will allow organisations to establish a DSpace 7 repository as a data source for Elements. The second phase of the integration introducing deposit functionality should be included in our release after that (Elements v6.9) which is due for release in mid July.
If you'd like some additional information about the integration please feel free to get in touch with our team via the Symplectic Support site. Best wishes Kate — Kate Byrne VP, Product Management Symplectic <https://www.symplectic.co.uk/> is part of Digital Science <https://www.digital-science.com/> On Thu, 12 May 2022 at 17:45, 'Tim Donohue' via DSpace Community < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi Joseph, > > DSpace 7 *should be *backwards compatible with the existing Symplectic > Elements Repository Tools, provided that you enable the SWORDv2 interface > and install the _old_ REST API (v6) alongside the brand new REST API (as > their RT2 tools require the old REST API and SWORDv2 from my > understanding).
