The embedded SWORD Client allows a user (currently restricted to an administrator) to copy an item to a SWORD server. This allows your DSpace installation to deposit items into another SWORD-compliant repository (including another DSpace install).

At present this functionality has only been developed for the XMLUI and is disabled by default.

Enabling the SWORD Client

To enable the SWORD Client uncomment the SwordClient Aspect in [dspace]/config/xmlui.xconf file.

<aspect name="SwordClient" path="resource://aspects/SwordClient/" />
