Exporter Commons

Library with common classes and interfaces for the data export (e.g. to some repository).

Functionality

ExportRepository.java - a common interface for the communication with any export repository (e.g. instance of DSpace, Dataverse etc.)
SwordExporter.java - an abstract class with general exporting methods for SWORD-based repositories (e.g. DSpace, Dataverse etc.), SWORDv2 is supported for now.

For changes history please see CHANGELOG.md

How to add to your maven project (as dependency in pom.xml)

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.bwfdm</groupId>
    <artifactId>exporter-commons</artifactId>
    <version>0.4.0</version>
</dependency>

How to use

if repository supports a SWORD protocol, the repository class should extend the SwordExporter.java.
if common interface for different repositories is needed, the repository class should implement the ExportRepository.java

Tests

for test example see SwordExporterTester.java
for credentials input please see repositories_schema.xsd and repositories_template.xml

Limitations

currently SwordExporter supports metadata in DublinCore only as Map<String, List>. Metadata as XML-file is NOT supported yet.
