Hi John, There's a few options available to you:
(1) DSpace has an experimental REST API that is currently under development, see: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/REST+API It's not in out-of-the-box DSpace, but we're hoping someday it will be. It was built by a student as part of the Google Summer of Code program -- we're hoping to build it out more before it becomes widely available. However, you are welcome to test it out early and provide feedback or even code fixes (should you have a developer interested) (2) DSpace comes with a Lightweight Network Interface (LNI), which is a SOAP/WebDAV interface. This interface is still of "beta" quality though it is shipped out-of-the-box. https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/LightweightNetworkInterface (3) DSpace also comes with a SWORD interface which can be used to submit new items (but doesn't help with the update/delete). See http://www.swordapp.org for more info on SWORD protocol. I hope that helps. - Tim On 9/7/2010 10:32 AM, John Hufnagle wrote: > Hi, > > I'm new to DSpace and am investigating DSpace and Fedora as candidates for a > digital repository. > It appears as though for real-time search and create/update/delete access to > items in a Dspace repository the Java api is the way to go (only way?). > So if we needed to have multiple community exhibition web applications that > were providing access to their own community's items all within a single > DSPace repository those apps would need to be running in the DSpace servlet > container in order to make use of the DSpace Java api?
