You can find lots of documentation on SWORD here, including specs: http://swordapp.org/ There's a github repository here: https://github.com/swordapp/ There is also a mailing list: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sword-app-tech First of all you'll need to decide whether to use Sword v1 or Sword v2. v1 is fire-and-forget -- you deposit your Sword package and make no further changes to it. Sword v2 is designed to let you make changes to the item after deposit. v1 is simpler; we recently decided to go with v2 for a fire-and-forget application since there is a Java client library for v2 but not v1. I fiddled a little with Sword and it looks like it assumes password authentication. Is that correct ? That's right. For v1 at least (don't remember for v2) there is a config flag to let Sword deposits use password auth even if password auth isn't enabled for 'normal' users. cheers, Andrea -- Dr Andrea Schweer Lead Software Developer, ITS Information Systems The University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand +64-7-837 9120 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Technical Support" group.
