I think this is going to be a really cool and convenient integration. Now I've been saying this for a while, but in order to have end to end seemless OCAL integration Inkscape needs a way to save a document right into the online library. This too could be a lot easier if we didn't have to abuse OCAL web forms. I think it would make an awesome companion extension for your OCAL helper. Hint, hint. ;)
FWIW, I have a functioning SOAP-based upload function implemented. Jon and I got it up and running last week, and test drove it by uploading all of the OCAL-0.14 release into it. Downloading works as well. Searching is still pretty primitive but you can get a listing of all docs in the system. We found some bugs after uploading all the thousands of images into it, though, so there's still work to be done before it's ready for prime time.
Anyway, the days of abusing the web forms to get stuff into or out of OCAL is now pretty limited. :-)
Also, you can install DMS on your local system. Several people have done this so far. You may have to install a few perl module dependencies, but the installs are pretty straightforward. The code is on CPAN as Document::Manager.
