Abstract

This tutorial provides an overview and a practical introduction to ResourceSync, a web-based synchronization framework consisting of multiple modular capabilities that a server can selectively implement to enable third party systems to remain synchronized with the server’s evolving resources. The tutorial motivates the ResourceSync approach by outlining several synchronization use cases including scholarly article repositories, OAI-PMH repositories, linked data knowledge bases, as well as content aggregators. It details the concepts of the ResourceSync capabilities, their discovery mechanisms, and their serialization based on the widely adopted Sitemap protocol. The tutorial further hints at the extensibility of the synchronization framework, for example, for scenarios to provide references to mirror locations of synchronization resources, to transferring partial content, and to offering historical data.
