This appears to be focusing particularly on Legal Deposits: "For electronic publications, our new web-based deposit tool, Digital Deposit Scotland, makes it quick and easy for Scottish publishers to send us publications for our collections. Electronic titles sent to the National Library of Scotland in this way are distributed to the other Legal Deposit Libraries via our shared infrastructure, benefitting all parts of the UK. " (source)
Team WP7 met with NLS to discuss Digital Deposit Scotland - DDS is a file drop web interface offered for small Scottish publishers to deposit book content (PDFs preferred); NLS currently do not take any kind of metadata, records are created from content in-house by NLS cataloguers/archivists.

To expand on this (thanks @tosteiner), Thoth might want to interact with DDS in the case where we onboarded a Scottish publisher and wanted to perform legal deposit on their behalf. The web interface wouldn't be suitable for programmatic access, but DDS offer the alternative option of FTP transfer to bigger publishers/organisations, which should be easy to connect to (and the web interface sounds like it's basically a user-friendly skin over an FTP system anyway).
Content deposited via DDS would both enter the legal deposit workflow, and (if open-access) be made publicly available in the NLS catalogue.
