  1. John,

    All the features that are listed in the announcement are currently supported. We are working on RDFS support for the next release, great Web UI improvements, role-based security, and much more.

    Stay tuned about more information on the extensible nature of the platform so that any domain/application can be supported (e.g. museum, talks, lectures, etc.).

    Let me know if you have any questions and we are eager to hear feedback/suggestions.

    regards,
    .savas.

  2. Hi Penny,

    I’m not sure – Adrian Stevenson (UKOLN) and Julie Allinson (University of York) are managing ongoing development of the SWORD spec. They track any developments they’re aware of at http://www.swordapp.org/ . I can’t see anything listed there but it might be worth asking of the mailing list or dropping them a line.
