[Dspace-general] Displaying forms according to content type.

[Kim Shepherd]

Hi Yuri,

Perhaps SWORD can help -- there are Java and PHP libraries around.

I haven't implemented anything yet myself, but this is the path I'm taking to build a submission interface that can handle different forms for different resource types without creating extra clutter in the collection/community hierarchy.

There is lots of cool stuff SWORD can do, but rather than list it all, I'll just give you some links: http://www.swordapp.org/ and http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/repositories/digirep/index/SWORD

There is a DSpace SWORD module since 1.4.2 (perhaps earlier?)

Cheers,

Kim

Robin, I think we should have asked before trying to find a way DSpace
inside. =P
Really thank you for your fast answer, Robin.

Perhaps someone have tried a way of doing it. Anyone? (Even I ask, our
conclusion is that developing this in DSpace is not that easy.)
