Hi all,
I'm please to announce the release of Version 1.0 of the SWORD Profile
of the Atom Publishing Protocol [1]
This document is a profile of the Atom Publishing Protocol (APP) [2] .
APP is an application-level protocol for publishing and editing Web
resources which is based on HTTP transfer of ATOM-formatted
representations. It's currently an Internet Draft but nearing standard
status and has generated quite a bit of interest, for example from
Google who have defined their own GDATA profile of it.
The SWORD Profile specifies a subset of elements from the APP for use in
depositing content into information systems, such as repositories. The
Profile also specifies a number of element extensions to APP, defined to
adhere to the extensions mechanism outlined in APP. This profile also
makes use of the Atom Syndication Format (ATOM) [3] as used in APP, with
extensions.
The SWORD [4] project is testing implementation of this profile within
Eprints, DSpace, Fedora and IntraLibrary and developing a reference
client to demonstrate remote deposit. This work is nearing completion
and outputs will be released soon ...
Best regards,
Julie
