Hi all,

I am new to this community and my institution is considering using DSpace as our future institutional repository. We use Pure from Elsevier as our CRIS system. A standard connector for DSpace can be activated in Pure so that full text records with metadata can be deposited and updated from Pure to DSpace. However, this default connector is proprietary software and we would prefer an open source connector. Is there any institution or company that has already developed a connector between Pure and DSpace based on an open source protocol and willing to share it with us?

Kind regards,

Hi Frank,

The existing integration between PURE and DSpace is based on SWORDv2 interface (an open protocol), but the feature from the PURE side is paid. 

If you have access to an API of the PURE system (is there one available?), you can probably get the items and send them to DSpace, with SWORD or the DSpace API. 

I don't know of any open connector to integrate PURE with DSpace.

Hi,

Expanding on José's comment, currently Elsevier has already developed the connector via REST (the SWORD connector will possibly be discontinued in mid-2024, because we will have to change a project using this connector in that date ) But I understand that it is a  propietary  connector  (the PURE side). Both the Dspace alternatives (sword or rest) are open sourced

Thanks José and Emilio for your useful answers! We will take a good look at the DSpace alternatives with API or SWORD.
