<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Yuri,<BR>
<BR>
Perhaps SWORD can help -- there are Java and PHP libraries around.<BR>
<BR>
I haven't implemented anything yet myself, but this is the path I'm taking to build a submission interface that can handle different forms for different resource types without creating extra clutter in the collection/community hierarchy.<BR>
<BR>
There is lots of cool stuff SWORD can do, but rather than list it all, I'll just give you some links: <A HREF="http://www.swordapp.org/">http://www.swordapp.org/</A> and <A HREF="http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/repositories/digirep/index/SWORD">http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/repositories/digirep/index/SWORD</A><BR>
<BR>
There is a DSpace SWORD module since 1.4.2 (perhaps earlier?)<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
<BR>

Robin, I think we should have asked before trying to find a way DSpace<BR>
inside. =P<BR>
Really thank you for your fast answer, Robin.<BR>
<BR>
Perhaps someone have tried a way of doing it. Anyone? (Even I ask, our<BR>
conclusion is that developing this in DSpace is not that easy.)<BR>
