While some programming would be involved, you would probably be able to automate the majority of tasks in a script of some sort. You could probably run it as a cron job that would execute every minute, hour, day (depending on how much data is being harvested and how up-to-date DSpace needs to be) to update DSpace.
Alternatively, and I don't know if this is possible in DSpace, but if you could develop a web service that the OpenCourseWare and DSpace applications can use to communicate with each other. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ DSpace-tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dspace-tech
