[EP-tech] Re: Simple Repository deposit

Hi Ian,

Yes.  It creates a single EPrints XML file, with base-64 encoded files embedded.

This can be added as a new EPrint then, using the CRUD API.  We never really paid much attention to SWORD for this.

David,

Can I just confirm: what this does is build an EPrintXML file, with the
documents as base_64-encoded elements encoded within the record...

.... and EPrints 3.3 can decode this as a single SWORD deposit item?
