Hopefully you'll not need to change any configuration settings initially - we always try to make as much of it 'work out the box' as possible. There is one URL that is important with SWORD - the Service Document. This is usually found at: - http://your-repository.com/sword/servicedocument Requesting this will ask for your username and password. It returns an XML document that explains which collections the user can deposit into, and what the deposit URLs are. They are typically in the form of: - http://your-repository.com/sword/deposit/{collection-handle} - http://your-repository.com/sword/deposit/123456789/562 To use SWORD you will need a SWORD client. This can be as simple as 'curl' on the command line. There is a simple online SWORD client at: - http://client.swordapp.org/client/ However this client isn't really designed for end users, as you usually want to be able to hide details such as the service document from them. You might like to take a look at EasyDeposit which allows you to create custom SWORD deposit interfaces. It requires PHP and allows a lot of customization from within the application itself. - http://easydeposit.swordapp.org/ Thanks, Stuart Lewis IT Innovations Analyst and Developer Te Tumu Herenga The University of Auckland Library Auckland Mail Centre, Private Bag 92019, Auckland 1142, New Zealand Ph: +64 (0)9 373 7599 x81928 <html><p><font face = "verdana" size = "0.8" color = "navy">This communication is intended for the addressee only.
