Hi Mark, I have been using SWORDv2 with DSpace. SWORD is just a transfer protocol, it doesn't really matter what type of package you send with it, as long as the receiving SWORD server understands how to handle it.
I used DSpace METS SIP, simple zip files, and binary files because the DSpace SWORDv2 server implementation supported those packages. Then, we wanted to try BagIt, so I wrote a so called "ingester" to let the SWORDv2 DSpace server handle BagIt packages. And since I was at it, I also made one for DataBankBagIt packages, which are not in the SWORD documentation (and also have a different namespace, http://dataflow.ox.ac.uk/package/DataBankBagIt). You can define your own package format if you want to. You can read about our work on SWORD on the blog of our project, Sustainable Management of Digital Music Research Data: http://rdm.c4dm.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/sword-tools http://rdm.c4dm.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/datastage-and-dspace Good luck!
