DepositMO - Modus Operandi for Repository Deposits

Project Summary

DepositMO is creating links between the user's desktop and their digital repository. This involves creating two user tools which connect to the repository using the SWORDv2 protocol:

1. A Microsoft Word Add-In: this allows the user to deposit DocX document directly from their word authoring environment into the repository.
2. Watch Folder: this creates a connection between a folder on the user's desktop to the repository, allowing for two-way synchronisation of resources in the folder.

We were brought into the project at a late stage to meet some urgent requirements which the project had not been able to fulfill: to implement the extensions to SWORDv2 that DepositMO utilised against the DSpace repository platform, and to extract data from DocX files and images with embedded XIF data for that system.
