Robin,
I think that the SWORD interface is seen as a more direct replacement for LNI.
The REST interfaces may cover some of the functions these interfaces provide,
but I'm not sure that it will cover all of the use-cases 1-for-1.
SWORD is a much more modern, stable, universal, and documented interface and
perhaps it would be better for them to use going forward. (I can't say because
I don't know exactly what they are doing with it.)

Hi,
I have recently been working with a company called Atira that supply a CRIS
called Pure that has had some take up here in the UK. They had a need to
interface with DSpace and on the basis of the LNI documentation decided that it
would be an appropriate mechanism. Unfortunately the documentation was a little
bit more comprehensive that the actual code (surely a first in the world of IT)
and they have had to create some patches for the LNI to add the missing
functionality. If the LNI is seen as having a future then I would work towards
commiting these updates to the codebase, however, if the REST api currently
under development is seen as a replacement for the LNI then there doesn't seem
much point. Can anyone guide me here ?
Thanks, Robin.
