Case Study: SWORD implementation in the SPECTRa chemistry data submission tool

Abstract

Informed by our experiences with existing remote deposit interfaces for the DSpace Institutional Repository software, we have implemented the SWORD (Simple Web service Offering Repository Deposit) AtomPub (Atom Publishing Protocol) profile as a client plugin in the SPECTRa (Submission, Preservation & Exposure of Chemistry Teaching & Research data) project data submission tools5. As server side implementations of the profile propagate this will allow more institutions to deposit experimental chemistry data more easily.
