Mika, You may also want to try out the METS Java API (or other tools) available at http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/mets-tools.html to see what suits you best.

It ought to work with SWORD too; see: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DSpace_SIP_Toolkit (If you develop any tricks or procedures for using it with SWORD, please add them to that wiki page!) -- Larry On Jun 5, 2009, at 5:25 AM, mikan.d.dspace listmail wrote: > > Im hoping to use SWORD in order to deposit items to DSpace.
