Hi Ann, The best example would be JORUM http://www.jorum.ac.uk/ I don't have all the details on that, but my understanding is that it is connected to a DSpace repository through REST API's. You can see a little bit of DSpace style of information "leaking" by clicking "Show the full Jorum record" at http://find.jorum.ac.uk/resources/10949/20105
Here are two sample apps that use the DSpace REST API to interact with DSpace. Using Ruby on Rails: https://github.com/peterdietz/dspace-rest-rails (Source Code) http://dspace-rest-client-play.herokuapp.com Using Java Play! framework. http://dspace-rails.herokuapp.com/communities (Source Code) https://github.com/peterdietz/dspace-rest-play And then there is a project at UFPR Universidade Federal do Paraná (Brazil), to build an open courses site. I'm assuming they are storing courses in DSpace, and then have built an application that allows you to see course materials for various courses/departments/classes. They have video of lecture capture in there (Portuguese). And to my knowledge its just querying DSpace to do it all. http://cursosabertos.c3sl.ufpr.br/ http://cursosabertos.c3sl.ufpr.br/setores/10 http://cursosabertos.c3sl.ufpr.br/aulas/113 Another usage that I've heard about is a University that has students submit their student thesis to the university gradebook system, and then at the end of the semester, uses the DSpace REST API to push all that material into the repository. Longsight is also in the process of developing an application / site with a client that will be powered by DSpace REST. In that case, we would think of DSpace as just being a repository layer. It provides mechanisms for ingest, and then gives you a service layer (REST API), that you query to get/put metadata and files. And you can build whatever you want in the web-app-framework. A non-REST-api integration is OAI-PMH. For example, we manage a DSpace repository that holds the content that is then regularly harvested by OAI, and then populates the Drupal site. Going forward, that project will rewrite to use DSpace REST to continue the integration.
