For those of you attending OR12, I would love to have you join our
"working" workshop on using SWORD to deposit to both an OER repository and
an institutional repository at the same time. Register for the
workshop<http://www.eventbrite.com/event/3549581895/eorg>.
The workshop is free for attendees and it will be Monday, July 9th. Since
we will be working to extend an existing SWORD client that deposits to
Connexions (cnx.oerpub.org) so that it will also optionally deposit to an
insitutional dspace repo (and eprints if we have folks to drive that
effort).

OERPub is a new API for publishing OER (Open Education Resources) that was
adapted lightly from SWORD V2. The purpose for the OERPub API is to enable
an ecosystem of tools and services that support transforming, remixing,
adapting, and translating OER.

Features were added to SWORD to specialize it for OER and it has been
implemented in Connexions (an open repository). We have also created a
client that transforms content in general purposes formats like Word, Open
Office, HTML, and Google Docs into semantic formats and then uses the API
to publish the resulting content. When institutional authors submit
scholarly works such as textbooks, conference proceedings, or journal
articles to Connexions, they often need to archive the materials within
their institutional arrchives (DSpace Fedora, Eprints).

In this workshop we will extend the OERPub client to optionally deposit to
DSpace institutional archives using SWORD V2 at the same time as the
materials are being published in Connexions. The first part of the workshop
will be spent on design discussion, and then we will extend the client to
deposit to both Connexions and DSpace. If participants are interested in
EPrints or Fedora, we will pursue prototype implementations for those also.
Attendees should be familiar with SWORD for publishing and an institutional
repository. Since we will be actively extending existing software, software
development skills or user experience skills will be priority for attendees.

Presenters: Kathi Fletcher (Shuttleworth Foundation Fellow), Marvin Reimer
(TU Braunschweig), Ying Jin (Rice University – Center for Digital
Scholarship)
