1: SloanSpace-Dspace Integration

Hello,

I am currently working on an interface that allows for file transfers between SloanSpace and DSpace (a digital repository).  I've implemented a search interface in SloanSpace that searches through DSpace files and allows users to add the file's urls into the SloanSpace file storage system.  I'm also implementing an interface that puts SloanSpace files into DSpace, which involves generating DSpace's required metadata before submission.  My system contains a metadata mapping interface that maps SloanSpace file data to DSpace metadata so that this metadata can be prepopulated, simplifying the user experience.  Any ideas/comments/questions?

How do you keep the two systems in sync or do you only store the link to the file if you store the file in DSpace ?

Either way, this sounds great and I hope you can release it, so we could build upon your experience with DSpace to store files in other systems as well.

Thanks for your reply.
Currently, I'm only storing the links to the files.
