DSpace is an open-source repository system. It allows programmatic access via both its own API and the SWORD protocol.

There are no official client libraries for the DSpace REST API (v7+), but one of the DSpace developers has begun developing a Python client library.

Note that some versions of DSpace contain a bug preventing the deletion of items within the workspace (i.e. ones not yet published) via the SWORDv2 endpoint. The fix for the bug should be available within DSpace v8 and be backported to v7, but the bug appears to have been present since at least v6. As v6 was out of support at the time the bug was discovered, it is unlikely to be fixed.
