Tufts Scholarly Services Update
Tufts has deployed alpha versions of 2 scholarly services to the Bamboo Services Platform. The Workspaces team has been able to successfully interact with these services via a proof-of-concept client deployed on the HUBZero platform.
The Alpha version of Tufts' Morphology service is packaged as a set of OSGi bundles, and proxies requests for morphological analyses to parsing engines which could either be deployed as part of the bundle or accessed via a remote web service. The full 1.0 release will support analysis of texts in multiple languages across various repositories and morphological engines; the alpha version supports requests for analyses of both Greek and Latin words using the morpheus engine.
The resulting parses are serialized in RDF/XML according to the OAC datamodel. The following is an example of response to a request for a parse of the Latin word 'deos', using the request url http://esb-d3.calnet.berkeley.edu:8181/bsp/morphologyservice/analysis/word?word=deos&lang=lat&engine=morpheus

In addition to supporting requests for parses of individual words, the alpha version of the service also supports retrieval of document fragments from remote repositories using the CTS API. Currently the service is configured with the ability to retrieve from a demo repository at Holy Cross University. The full 1.0 release will support retrieval and parsing of entire documents, as well as fragments, from repositories which support either of the CTS or CMIS apis.
The Alpha version of Tufts' Syntactic Annotation service provides a testbed of the interface to functionality that will be offered in the 1.0 release, including retrieval of annotations stored in remote repositories, queries for annotations matching a specific set of criteria, and syntactic annotation templates for documents, document fragments and supplied texts. The following is a sample response for retrieval of an annotation of the first sentence of the Iliad, using the request url http://esb-d3.calnet.berkeley.edu:8181/bsp/annotationservice/annotation?document_id=urn:cts:greekLang:tlg0012.tlg001:μῆνιν\[1\]-Ἀχιλλεύς\[1\]

We have also been working together with the Berkeley BSP team to establish a standard expression for responses to requests for lists of available resources provided by services deployed on the Bamboo Services Platform. The alpha versions of both of Tufts' services do have initial List implementations adhering to this standard that provide details on resources they make available, as in the example below which lists the repository currently configured for the Morphology Service in response to the request http://esb-d3.calnet.berkeley.edu:8181/bsp/morphologyservice/repository
