The package formats supported/accepted by the Server are listed in the Service
Document provided by the server when a client first connects to it. If the
client sends an unsupported package type, the server should reply with an error
message stating that the that package type is not supported.
Deciding which packages to support and creating packages that comply with the
standards is the real problem I think. For example, I think the only way to
reliably create DSpace METS SIP files is via the export function in DSpace. As
for BagIt, I used the Bagger utility provided by the Library of Congress:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/loc-xferutils/files/loc-bagger/ and built my
DSpace ingester according to the BagIt specifications.
I hope this helps!
Marco
