Amit, You could take the approach you described to submit an item to DSpace from another webapp.
You could also use the DSpace SWORD server to submit an Item and its metadata in a zip package using the SWORD protocol: There are great tutorials on using the SWORD protocol on the SWORD website at: http://swordapp.org/the-sword-course/ DSpace supports the SWORD protocol. Information on setting up the DSpace SWORD server is in our documentation at: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/SWORDv1+Server But, again, it is up to you how you wish to submit items to DSpace. You are welcome to generate the "Simple Archive Format" packages (with the dublin_core.xml metadata) if you find that to be easier. SWORD is just a more 'standard' way of submitting content to a repository, and many other repositories (not just DSpace) also support SWORD. - Tim On 4/12/2012 7:23 AM, Shanu Jha wrote: > Hi, > > Please let me know is that the correct approach to submit the item(From > other web apps): > > 1.
