So, the best approach for SWORD would certainly be to use these APIs! Moodle 2.0 has two new pieces:

Repository API – for getting documents from repositories into Moodle
Portfolio API – for pushing documents and data from Moodle into repositories/portfolios

Of course these can easily be used to read/write to one system when required, but they are separate because many of the use cases call for one or the other, and the integration points are different.

So, the best approach for SWORD would certainly be to use these APIs!

This project sounds like it could also be the missing piece of the Moodle repository connectivity puzzle in that it would complement Moodle's upcoming repository plugin architecture which is just focused on retrieval (as far as I understand it). Best of luck and I look forward to following your progress. Eamon Thanks Richard, Great to hear there is an Irish involvement!

Once we've got a basic Moodle plugin communicating with the repository, we will be looking for examples of CLA approaches. The idea for the project came in part from discussions with David Kane of WIT and I expect to be in touch with him again in due course.

Sounds like a very interesting project. Will the eventual outputs be available to people outside the UK? Thanks, - Eamon Great news. Sounds like a very interesting project.
