Apologies for the scatter gun approach, I was looking for an up to date email address for Mark Diggory but couldn't find one. I was wondering if this work ultimately made its way into 1.5.x ?

Developers, (I originally sent this email to the commiters list, but think that it should be more openly discussed... so I am reposting here) I've been working hard for the last month on a project for dsp...@mit that you may find very complementary to the roll RichardJ has proposed for ORE in Sword. I'd like to introduce you to an ORE and Semantic Web enabled DSpace test server I've constructed using a SAX driven RDF serialization pipeline in Cocoon. http://dspace-test.mit.edu If you have a Firefox /RDF Browser Addon (http://www.w3.org/2005/ajar/ tab) you can view the RDF at the same URI as the Content... Likewise, to view it in a regular browser, I've exposed it on secondary URI. Site: http://dspace-test.mit.edu http://dspace-test.mit.edu/rdf Community: http://dspace-test.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/33970 http://dspace-test.mit.edu/rdf/1721.1/33970 Collection: http://dspace-test.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/33972 http://dspace-test.mit.edu/rdf/1721.1/33972 Item: http://dspace-test.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/35257 http://dspace-test.mit.edu/rdf/1721.1/35257 the point is that ORE/RDF can be generated lightly and we can use cocoon to expose it in a way that is quite complementary to the rest of the User interface. The RDFizer is all SAX based and independent of the XMLUI, so it can be reused in JSPUI and OAI if we so choose. I've made an AddOn Aspect for DSpace XML-UI that includes this RDF capability into the rendering as described above... the only significant limitation as an "addon" is that it requires customization of the default sitemap in XMLUI to create new pipeline, matchers and serializers for the RDF Generator. I plan to include this functionality into dsp...@mit around the same time that DSpace 1.5.0 is released. ----- Note: I've reworded my proposal since it was posted in the commiters list because we are actually about to cut 1.5.0 shortly and its almost unanimous in the response to this subject in the commiters list that we do not want to delay this release any longer... ----- I'd like to propose the idea that we may actually want to put this in place in 1.5-SNAPSHOT after the 1.5.0 release to lay a foundation for DSpace's adoption of ORE. Having it available in the code-base planned for 1.5.1 means that we can have sites out in the wild after our 1.5.1 release and we can make enhancements to the ORE/RDF generation in the maintenance release branch of 1.5.x. This would also really showcase DSpace as an adopter of both ORE and Semantic Web tooling. I really see an opportunity here, if for instance we can show that ORE exposed via the XMLUI can be handed to Sword (and elsewhere) to initialize the ingest/replication process of DSpace content... I think that will spark even more excitement around the DSpace Community and situate us at the forefront in the adoption of ORE... what are your thoughts? Cheers, Mark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark R.
