SWORD Deposit

Repositories must interface with:– each other– users – other applications within the institution– services in the wider information landscape

There was no common deposit API or protocol

So JISC funded SWORD to build on the Deposit API group

Partners: UKOLN; University of Southampton (EPrints); University of Aberystwyth (DSpace, Fedora, reference client); Intrallect (intraLibrary)
