SWORD

SWORD is a protocol enabling clients and servers to communicate around complex digital objects

The SWORD vision is lowering the barriers to deposit, principally for depositing content (any content!) into repositories, but also for depositing into any system – scholarly or otherwise – which wants to receive content from remote sources.

SWORD has been developed and supported with funding and resources from: Jisc, NII and EBSCO, University of Oxford, and Cottage Labs.
