SWORD (version 2) Server

SWORD (Simple Web-service Offering Repository Deposit) is a protocol that allows the remote deposit of items into repositories. DSpace implements the SWORD protocol via the 'sword' web application. The specification and further information can be found at http://swordapp.org.

SWORD is based on the Atom Publish Protocol and allows service documents to be requested which describe the structure of the repository, and packages to be deposited.

Enabling SWORD v2 Server

To enable DSpace's SWORD server, just make sure the [dspace]/webapps/sword2/ web application is available from your Servlet Container (usually Tomcat).
