The document introduces the SWORD protocol, which provides a simple standard for depositing content into repositories. It discusses that SWORD was developed to be lightweight and interoperable across different repository platforms. The history of SWORD is then outlined, from early discussions of a standard deposit mechanism in 2005 to a funded JISC project in 2007 that resulted in the SWORD specification and implementation in repositories like DSpace and EPrints.
