NetworkInterfaces

[edit] Network Interfaces

Ways for DSpace to interoperate with remote systems.

http://www.openarchives.org/ OAI-PMH support already built in. This allows metadata harvesting currently of simple Dublin Core only. OAICat has a plug-in framework where additional 'crosswalks' can be added for qualified DC, METS etc. etc.
http://www.oclc.org/research/software/srw/ SW/U Web-services and RESTful interfaces for remote search (based on Z39.50, but simplified.) Currently a separate piece of software. Ideally, should be integrated into DSpace; the DSpace 'bridge' part should be part of the DSpace code, and then the SW/U code could be included as a JA. alph LeVan at OCLC has agreed that this is a good route forward; all we need now is someone with the time to do it! ;-)

SSH command-line interface - mentioned for completeness
Web UI - mentioned for completeness
DSpace Lightweight Network Interface (LNI) is supported as of release 1.5. Also see the original LightweightNetworkInterface wiki page.
