Re: [sword-app-tech] DSpace SWORD deposit using BagIt and OAI:ORE

[Nathaniel R. <nat...@gm...>]

Hi Bill,

During last summer, I also was led to believe the only significant work
done on a Sword Baggit Ingester was performed by Tim Donohue and Richard
Jones. Dryad appeared to have had plans to work on the system, but I did
not find any code produced by them.

I ended up testing the possibility of using Tim Donohue's
ReplicationTaskSuite and discovered that it was specifically designed to
restore data that had already been backed up and would not easily be
modified to accept deposits from SWORD [1].

I, however, used Tim's code as a model to build an AbstractBagitIngester.
The system allowed me to conform to SWORD v1.0 standards. I was able to
deposit items using the system modifications that I wrote. If you are
interested, see my AbstractBagitIngester for a good starting point [2].

If I remember correctly, I was asked to build an ingester that would depend
solely on file hierarchy and Baggit standards rather than a manifest file,
so I do not think I have support for OAI-ORE manifests.

Anyway, good luck! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Sincerely,
Nate R.

Hi Bill,

There's also some DSpace + BagIt work in the Replication Task Suite addon which can generate Archival Information Packages (AIPs), either METS-based AIPs or BagIt-based AIPs, for all content within DSpace. 
These AIPs can be used to backup/restore DSpace or copy/move content between DSpace instances. However, it does not involve OAI-ORE at this time.

It also is not currently connected up to DSpace's SWORD server. So, you cannot currently deposit these AIPs via SWORD.

Re: [sword-app-tech] DSpace SWORD deposit using BagIt and OAI:ORE

[Tim D. <tdo...@du...>]

Hi Bill,

There's also some DSpace + BagIt work in the Replication Task Suite 
addon which can generate Archival Information Packages (AIPs), either 
METS-based AIPs or BagIt-based AIPs, for all content within DSpace. 
These AIPs can be used to backup/restore DSpace or copy/move content 
between DSpace instances. However, it does not involve OAI-ORE at this 
time.

It also is not currently connected up to DSpace's SWORD server. So, you 
cannot currently deposit these AIPs via SWORD. Though, since DSpace's 
SWORD server is configurable, I suspect it should not be difficult to 
configure it to accept these AIPs (likely just need a simple SWORD 
plugin to call the Replication Task Suite code). This likely would be 
something that others would find useful as well.

Overview: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/ReplicationTaskSuite
Code at: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-replicate

In any case, whatever work you do, I do suggest trying to post your code 
up in a public area (GitHub or similar) and making others aware of it. I 
keep hearing of folks that are interested in DSpace + BagIt, but the 
projects are not easy to locate. So, if you are looking for more 
collaborators, you also may wish to post about this on the dspace-devel 
mailing list, and/or create a wiki page in the DSpace Wiki.

Good luck,

Tim

Re: [sword-app-tech] does a SWORD validation service exist?

[Richard J. <ri...@co...>]

Ahh, I see, I interpreted it the wrong way round.

So yes, there is no service which does validation, but if someone were to
build one ( :) ), then there are a few resources which might be helpful.
 The python client library has a whole bank of functional/spec tests that
can be fired at a server, which attempt to test for spec compliance
(although are focussed on ensuring the client itself is behaving, and
assume that the server is behaving correctly):

https://github.com/swordapp/python-client-sword2/blob/master/tests/spec/test_spec.py

Spec compliance is a bit wooly in SWORDv2, as there is a lot of optional
stuff, so something that did a more thorough test of a server's support for
the SHOULD and MAY stuff would be very welcome!

Cheers,

Richard

Re: [sword-app-tech] does a SWORD validation service exist?

[Philip D. <phi...@ha...>]

Simple Sword Server is a fantastic resource and I used it to determine
which curl commands my SWORDv2 server implementation should support.

I think what Hardy wants is a little different... I think he wants a
service that acts as a *client* to test his SWORDv2 server
implementation. It sounds like he might even make one for us! When
it's ready, I'd be happy to point Hardy's service at my SWORDv2 server
implementation to see what I did wrong. :)

Phil

p.s. I'm reminded a bit of http://testshib.org which is a great
resource for testing SAML implementations (both Service Providers and
Identity Providers).

Re: [sword-app-tech] DSpace SWORD deposit using BagIt and OAI:ORE

[Richard J. <ri...@co...>]

I'm not aware of any work on DSpace with BagIt/OAI-ORE, although I have
done some BagIt package handling for a project I did with the University of
Oslo using a custom metadata format.

Here's an example of the bagit format we were working with:
https://github.com/nye-duo/Duo-DSpace/tree/master/bagit

Here's the SWORD plugin which deals with the bagit:
https://github.com/nye-duo/Duo-DSpace/blob/master/src/main/java/no/uio/duo/FSBagItIngester.java

And we also wrote a BagItLibrary to wrap our particular profile of the
format, so that it could be packed and unpacked at either end in a
consistent way: https://github.com/nye-duo/BagItLibrary

Don't know if any of that is trivially re-usable, but hopefully it will be
helpful.

Cheers,

Richard

Re: [sword-app-tech] does a SWORD validation service exist?

[Richard J. <ri...@co...>]

Hi Hardy,

There's not a validation service as such, but there is the Simple
Sword Server: https://github.com/swordapp/Simple-Sword-Server

This is both a python server-side library and out-of-the box test
repository and reference implementation.  You can throw stuff at it,
and it will be as spec compliant as possible when dealing with the
requests, provides some validation, and also stores stuff you send it
in a directory that you can look at to make sure it has done what you
expected it to do.

Cheers,

Richard

[sword-app-tech] does a SWORD validation service exist?

[Pottinger, H. J. <Pot...@mi...>]

Hi, I'm wondering if this exists: a SWORD server validation service, much
like the one for OAI[1]? If so, where would one find it? If not, where do
I sign up to make one? :-)

[1] http://validator.oaipmh.com/

I realize this might be a bit of an odd duck for a service, testing an
interface with write access to a repository, but, still... there ought to
be an agreed-upon way to "smoke test" a SWORD server.

[sword-app-tech] DSpace SWORD deposit using BagIt and OAI:ORE

[Ingram, W. A <win...@il...>]

I'm currently working on a research project investigating expanding the capabilities of the IDEALS (DSpace) repository, allowing for deposit of objects wrapped in BagIt packages and containing OAI-ORE manifests.

I saw online that there was a Summer of Code request for this, but no one picked up on it.

Has anyone tried this? I don't want to repeat work that someone has already done.

I wrote to the Dryad list, and based on the responses I got, this is still something that people want.

Thanks!
Bill

Re: [sword-app-tech] SWORD 2++

[Richard J. <ri...@co...>]

Hi Phil,

SWORD 2++ was a project rather than a thing.  We did some work
analysing various data deposit requirements, and proposing how the
current spec might change to accommodate them.

A summary of the outputs of this work is here:
http://swordapp.org/2012/07/data-deposit-scenarios/

Currently, I'm hoping that there will be a project next year to allow
us to implement these changes to the specification, as there's clearly
a need in the community to address the data deposit issues.

Cheers,

Richard

[sword-app-tech] SHARE (SHared Access Research Ecosystem) single-deposit mechanism

[Philip D. <phi...@ha...>]

Since deposit is mentioned, I thought this might be of interest:

"SHARE (SHared Access Research Ecosystem) is a cross-institutional
coordination framework to ensure access to, preservation and reuse of,
and policy compliance for funded research. SHARE will develop a
workflow architecture that can be implemented by institutions across a
variety of software platforms, technical environments, and
organizational support models... Current deposit workflows can require
more than 20 steps and multiple e-mails, making compliance extremely
inconvenient and challenging for authors. With the potential for
dozens of funding agencies to have distinct policies and procedures,
the burden for individual researchers could be overwhelming. SHARE’s
single-deposit mechanism will address this problem and allow principal
investigators to focus less on process and more on research." --

Re: [sword-app-tech] DSpace as Sword client

[TAYLOR R. <Rob...@ed...>]

Hi Ling,

Here at Edinburgh we used the Dspace Sword Client to copy items from one Dspace installation to another, but this was a few years ago and both repositories were at Dspace 1.5 with SWORDv1. So it worked then but I suspect it has not been a widely used feature of Dspace so I couldn’t confidently say that it will still be in good working order.

Cheers, Robin.

Hi Richard,

Our DSpace is 1.8.2, and we already used it as a SWORD v2 server to get objects from other sword clients, but now we have some DSpace objects to deposit to another SWORD compliant online database. I am wondering if I can enable the sword client configuration in our DSpace, and I found the sword client configuration file is SWORD v1? So the repository we deposited from our DSpace should be using SWord v1 not v2? Have anyone used DSpace as a Sword client before?

I've a colleague in our school of art and architecture who has developed a system to manage non-textual files (video/images mainly) and we discussed pushing them to a repository via sword. As a non-programmer I find sword implementation tricky without a lot of technical support and/or easy to use tools...my colleague is a php programmer but doesn't live in repository land so at this stage I just wanted to point him in the right direction. Having used EasyDeposit before and as it's written in php(?) I thought it a good place to start...though it's just v1.3 I think and probably makes sense for us to look at v2 for full CRUD and as we're using EPrints 3.3.11. What clients/tools/implementation guides are available - had a look at Richard Jones' Java client on github but beyond my technical ken I think!



Any advice much appreciated both pitched at my limited technical nouse and how best to get my colleague started (I'll point him at the list of course!)



Thanks

Good question!  The point of this is really to allow a remote client
environment to offer this text to an end user when they are preparing
a submission, so it wouldn't be much use in a machine-only
environment.

Yes, out of scope :)  You could consider the collection policy
informational, and sword provides a mechanism by which to expose that
information to potential depositors, but it doesn't say anything about
how you come to agree about that policy.

Re: [sword-app-tech] SWORD community development and support (Kathi Fletcher)

[Richard J. <ri...@co...>]

Hi Nick,

There is a PHP client as well for both SWORDv1 and SWORDv2, which your
colleague might find more accessible:

https://github.com/swordapp/swordapp-php-library

https://github.com/swordapp/swordappv2-php-library

Cheers,

Richard

[sword-app-tech] some notes about the latest sword release

[Richard J. <ri...@co...>]

Hi Folks,

In the last month we've released a new version of the java server
library, and had our updated version of the DSpace module accepted for
their 4.0 release.  I've written a short blog post about it here:

http://cottagelabs.com/news/swordv2-and-dspace-new-release

Cheers,

Richard

[sword-app-tech] DSpace as Sword client

[<li...@yo...>]

Hi Richard,
Our DSpace is 1.8.2, and we already used it as a SWORD v2 server to get
objects from other sword clients, but now we have some DSpace objects to
deposit to another SWORD compliant online database. I am wondering if I can
enable the sword client configuration in our DSpace, and I found the sword
client configuration file is SWORD v1? So the repository we deposited from
our DSpace should be using SWord v1 not v2? Have anyone used DSpace as a
Sword client before?
Thanks,
Ling @York University

Re: [sword-app-tech] JavaServer2.0 and JavaClient2.0 from https://github.com/swordapp

[Richard J. <ri...@co...>]

Hi Ben,

Yes, and glad to see the code being useful to more people!

I haven't got around to writing anything up yet, but we just released
a new version of the server library, and it is now also available as a
maven artefact.  At some point in the next week I'll be organised
enough to put out a post about what we've just done, and where all the
resources are.  In the mean time, you can find the release version
here:

http://search.maven.org/#artifactdetails%7Corg.swordapp%7Csword2-server%7C1.0%7Cwar

Cheers,

Richard

Yup, we're here!  We are using the same JavaServer SWORDv2 implementation
as the basis for our server.  In our case we are building the server as a
jar and incorporating it into a larger web app.  Its located at
https://github.com/UNC-Libraries/Carolina-Digital-Repository/tree/master/sword-server/

Glad to see more people adopting it!

Re: [sword-app-tech] SWORDv2 client in R

[Richard J. <ri...@co...>]

I think it would be great to have an R sword library!  Unfortunately
my knowledge of R is approximately zero, so couldn't make sense of the
code myself.

So, same question as my last email - does anyone know these folks?
Are they maybe already on-list?

Cheers,

Richard
