Hi, If you have heard about SWORD (the interoperable deposit protocol for repositories - www.swordapp.org) but don't know how you can make use of it with your repository, or if you would like to know more about the recent improvements to the SWORD specification, you may be interested in the following recently published paper: Lewis, S., Hayes, L., Newton-Wade, V., Corfield, A., Davis, R., Donohue, T., Wilson, S. 2009. If SWORD is the answer, what is the question?: Use of the Simple Web-service Offering Repository Deposit protocol. Program: electronic library and information systems. Vol 43. Issue 4. pp: 407 – 418. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/00330330910998057 The paper has been written by authors from New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the USA. It contains seven different case studies of SWORD in use, ranging from e-thesis submission to automated data deposits from laboratory equipment.
