You can do either..... but you do need a SWORD importer to match the
"packaging" type you are sending:
- If you are sending METSDSpaceSIP formatted data, you need an importer
than understands that
- If you are sending ORE linked data, you need an importer than
understands that
- If you are sending a single XML file, with Base64-encoded files within
the XML document, you need an importer for that.
The best advice I can offer is
1) Check what the "servicedocument" reports the repository accepts, and then
2) Have a look at the code for the importer you want to use: some of
them are very skeletal frameworks and really need additional work to be
truly useful..
