Hi, I've done a bit of googling on Bagit, and I see that Dryad (and @mire)
have done some work with Bagit as a repository interchange mechanism. I am
interested in something a bit more mundane. There exists a very nice tool
for constructing a "bag", called Bagger:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/loc-xferutils/files/loc-bagger/


Which would be ideal for adapting for our needs--we need a tool that a
scanner technician can use to feed scanned images into our repository.

Bags, in my mind, are not much different than SAF packages. It would be
trivial to script a converter between the two formats, though I'm thinking
someone is likely to have walked this path already. If so, and if you can
share any code, or just talk about your approach, I'd love to hear from
you. Thanks!
