DSpace SWORDv2: A Technology How-To

DSpace has had SWORDv2 support since the 1.8 release, and since then usage of that interface has seen some steady but slow take-up. This paper introduces the protocol operations provided by the standard, and how they relate to DSpace. The ways that DSpace can be configured to behave during deposit operations is detailed, so that developers have enough information to build and deploy their own solutions using DSpace’s SWORDv2 implementation.
