Hi Mark,
SWORD leaves versioning possible, but not specifically defined, as I
understand it.
Connexions is a versioning repository and we are implementing a SWORD V2
service. We are using a POST to the Col-IRI with dcterms:isVersionOf set to
a repository item that you want to create a new version of.
"To create a new version of published content, the client issues a POST to a
Col-IRI with an Atom Entry that contains “isVersionOf" with the URL of
published content that this should be a new version of. The OERPub (SWORD
v2) service SHOULD populate the new version with the contents of the parent
version."
We are electing to do things in a couple of steps:
1. Create a new version from the old version (POST to Col-IRI) -- and it
ends up in an editing environment.
2. Retrieve the contents (GET to EM-IRI) and edit them.
3. PUT the new version.
