Description:
|
As has been discussed many times, DSpace needs a REST API. Based on discussions in the Developer Meeting on Sept 18, 2013 (http://irclogs.duraspace.org/index.php?date=2013-09-18), the DSpace Committers have come up with a loose set of requirements around what we need out of a REST API.
Requirements for REST API inclusion:
1. A read-only API is acceptable, as long as it respects DSpace authorization (e.g. controls access to withdrawn/restricted/embargoed/private objects)
2. If the API supports write access, it MUST either be:
a) Disabled by default, OR
b) Fully support proper DSpace authentication and authorization (to ensure write access is secure)
3. Any API must meet all current DSpace submission requirements. For example:
a) should support both PostgreSQL and Oracle (or come with plans to support both)
b) should follow recommendations at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/Code+Contribution+Guidelines
Currently (as of Sept 2013), we do not have any REST API candidate solutions which meet all three of these general guidelines (though several are close). A call for submissions was put out to the community at: http://dspace.2283337.n4.nabble.com/call-for-REST-API-candidates-for-inclusion-into-DSpace-4-0-td4667378.html
If you have an API which you'd like to contribute based on these guidelines, please create a GitHub Pull Request which references this ticket. The Committers will review any candidate submissions and decide which seems most appropriate for inclusion.
