Account is the gate, not bytes: you need an eduGAIN institutional login, a CLARIN account, or a manually granted local account. Files >2 GB need help-desk handling. Every deposit signs a Distribution License Agreement and must carry adequate metadata, so bulk dumping of undocumented blobs will be rejected. |

| Interface | rest rest |
| Tooling | DSpace REST/OAI-PMH plus a documented submission workflow (repository/mydspace); handles as PIDs; SWORD-style deposit contract per collection ('Distribution License Agreement'). CLARIN SPF / eduGAIN SSO, and a local account on request. |
