Our initial work is to produce a single importable package, and the importers that go with them, so that the Broker can pass on an Item to a number of target repositories. (There is a future development idea which would be to allow each target repository to identify the package format it wanted, and the Broker would transfer in that package.... but that is a *much* slower mechanism when dealing with multi-institutional papers) -- Ian Stuart.
