The basic premise of this web-based client is to automatically search for "your stuff" in a number of ways and then allow it all to be submitted to a repository in one click.
First target for me was www.easychair.org. This service is used as an online conference submission and review system. In a nut-shell if an author wants to get accepted into a conference, easychair is one system which they WILL have to battle with in order to submit their content. As a result there is a strong potential that easychair knows about many publications which should also be present in other systems.
From the main screen in easychair it is possible to navigate and find the many conference publications which you have submitted. Each publication is tied to a conference and it can take a substantial number of clicks to navigate between each publication.DepositMOre
DepositMOre is a modular system which is intended to be a home for many services which locate your publications. The first module to be developed is for easychair.By simply providing your login credentials to the DepositMOre system, it will not only list all your authored items from easychair but also check if these are present in your locally detected repository. If they are not deposited, and they should be then one click will do this for you.
A combination of HTML5 and SWORD2 make this process quick and seemless! Multiple items can be submitted at once and as each are submitted you can instantly click a link to your item and can view it in the repository.
The following video gives a demo of the prototype in action. We hope to continue development with the support of a funded project.
