Hi Hardy, SWORD is completely agnostic about what packages it transports, however out the box, DSpace does not know how to ingest bags via SWORD. You might therefore need to write a bag ingester than knows how to unpack and ingest the contents of the bag. This would make an excellent addition to DSpace :)
