Yes...and the so called “blended” repository never really seems to have gained traction. Think I might know why *goes back to Sisyphean task of configuring “blended” repository*

 

 

 

Thanks Nick, I agree there is a lot of overlap of concerns and it’s great to make links across. From where I sit it seems there aren’t many people with feet firmly in both camps, perhaps because the repository aspect is a little more in the background in OER projects? But that’s just my impression. Definitely much to be learnt from both areas. Keep it coming J

 

 

Just to add that SWORD v2.0 is looking at developing from the “fire-and-forget” model of SWORD v1.0 to a more CRUD based model – from my (still limited) understanding of the LR *looks sheepishly at Dan again* would Delete and Update functions be useful?

 

I posted a summary on the UK Council of Research Repositories (UKCoRR) blog a while ago:

N.B. Pointing at my UKCoRR post instead of www.swordapp.org not (only) for self aggrandisement but rather because UKCoRR and OER still feel a little like separate camps and think more cross-dissemination might be useful (should we lose the 1^st “R” and become just UKCoR?!)

Hi Dan, all,

 

I’ve checked, and this is the situation:

 

SWORD 1.3 is the current version. It’s been out a while and all the current repository-based implementations (DSpace / EPrints etc) all support 1.3 by default. I’ve suggested they update the website accordingly!

 

V2 is nearing the final stages and will offer many new features. I’m seeking further info on the potential release date for that, it sounds like it will be within a few months.

 

I realise that’s a bit late for your needs, Dan, but wanted to share this info. I’ll update you when I hear more.

 

Amber

 

 

 

Hi Dan, all,

 

I’ll find out and let you know

Hi,

Does anyone know the publication date for SWORD 1.3? 
http://www.swordapp.org/docs/sword-profile-1.3.html

The date just says XXXX
Thanks
