Hi everyone,

I have a proposal for DSpace, thank you for reading, and it is very appriciated 
if anyone can give some feedback.


I suggest to add Web Service API to DSpace, So that external system can 
interact with it via the API.

The web service API including following functions:
1.     User Authentication by JAAS
2.     User/Group management(including Add,modify,delete)  
3.     Item, Bundle, BitStream management.  External system can inject, fetch 
and delete these objects via Web Service API.
4.     Search. The external system can post a search request and then get  the 
search result
 
With the web service API, the external system can integrate with DSpace 
conveniently; they can get data/Document from DSpace and save their document to 
DSpace, 
exploiting DSpace to save/manage document content and metadata. 

IBM FileNet Content Manager is a product that very similar to DSpace, it 
provides such web service API to customers, and it is used widely when 
customers want to integrate FileNet with their business system exploiting 
FileNet to manage their content (i.e. Document, image).

Best Regards!
