[EP-tech] Re: SWORD deposit

Okay, I've had some success here in that my script will create a record
however it won't insert any data into that record. Could you give me an
example of the data blob that you push in with your POST?

Also, it's putting the entry straight into review which we don't really
want as we're using this to create a stub which we will want to populate
further. Is there a value which can be passed or will they all go into
review regardless?

Thanks in advance!
Andrew
