Dear list Hello - I am new both to the list and to DSpace (I don't even have my own installation!) However, I am working on a project - http://acerep.wordpress.com/ - looking at selective deposit (using SWORD) into multiple repositories and/or OAI-PMH harvest from those repositories into Jorum (DSpace) and retrieval from Jorum hopefully using the DSpace API.
As those on the list may be aware Jorum has recently moved from the joint administration of Edina and Mimas to being run solely from Mimas and also working more closely with the NDLR in Ireland - http://www.ndlr.ie/ - ultimately, I think, with the view of sharing a common code-base. Jorum is currently running on (a significantly modified) version of 1.5.2 and did some work to develop an API - http://www.jorum.ac.uk/help/guides/jorum-api whereas the NDLR is running on v.1.6.2 (I think!) which does apparently have a browse API - http://www.dspace.org/1_6_2Documentation/ch13.html#N181A3 - I am not a developer and really just trying to do some ground-work that I can pass over to our technical team...is there enough information here for them to retrieve data from an installation of v.1.6.2 (that we don't have direct access to) or can anyone point me to additional documentation? I'm also interested in the DSpace REST API (still in development?) - https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/REST+API - is this more appropriate to what we are hoping to achieve and will it only be compatible with v.1.8 rather than earlier versions of DSpace? (current version 1.7.2 ?) Any advice greatly appreciated!
