A new paper about repository deposit scenarios has just been published in this month’s D-Lib:
SWORD: Facilitating Deposit Scenarios (http://www.dlib.org/dlib/january12/lewis/01lewis.html / doi:10.1045/january2012-lewis)
The SWORD (Simple Web-service Offering Repository Deposit) protocol was designed to facilitate the interoperable deposit of resources into systems such as repositories. The use of an interoperable standard eases the burden of developing clients to deposit such resources. This paper examines nine different deposit use cases, and provides case studies and examples of each use case to demonstrate the wide range of repository deposit scenarios. The use cases range from the deposit of scholarly communication outputs from a publisher to a repository and the automatic deposit of data from laboratory equipment, to inter-repository transfer and collaborative authoring workflows.
Nine different deposit use cases are examined, along with case studies or examples for each:
- Use case 1: Publisher to Repository
- Use case 2: Research Information System to Repository
- Use case 3: Desktop to Repository
- Use case 4: Repository to Repository
- Use case 5: Specialised Deposit User Interface to Repository
- Use case 6: Conference Submission System to Repository
- Use case 7: Laboratory equipment to Repository
- Use case 8: Repository Bulk Ingest
- Use case 9: Collaborative authoring
