Hi Zoe,
None of the main institutional repository software options currently
support SWAP out-of-the box (unfortunately) but DSpace and Eprints
should do in the not too distant future. Most repository software can
be customised to support your own metadata requirements, though,
including exporting SWAP records and describing multiple entities.
Fedora has the most flexible data model, but is not an out-of-the box
solution.
You might be interested in the following page which provides very brief
info about repository software:
http://www.rsp.ac.uk/repos/software
There are also a couple of useful reference on the following page:
http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/repositories/digirep/index/Repository_and_related_software
Best,
Julie
