SRW/U

The SRW/U Open Source project offers software that implements both the SRW Web Service and the SRU REST model interface to databases. Included are interfaces that support DSpace's Lucene implementation and OCLC's Pears and Newton databases.

The SRW server depends on its underlying database technology. In one instance, SRW is built on top of OCLC Research's Open Source Gwen Search Engine and Pears Database Engine. SRW is also distributed as part of DSpace and uses DSpace's underlying Lucene and PostgreSQL databases.
