[EP-tech] Re: Issue with OAI endpoint

Looking that the source of that record, you've got some not-proper XML characters in there!

Both of them look like they were 'fi' ligatures at some point: 'field' and 'fill' - but both are 0x0C now...

This is something I've seen before - often from people copy/pasting from PDFs (if memory serves right).
Editing the record is the easiest way to fix a single occurrence.
Finding illegal characters in the database is left as an exercise for the reader... ;o)

Cheers,
John

Subject: [EP-tech] Issue with OAI endpoint

Hello all! I’m doing some testing on OpenAire and I’ve come up on a funny one. One of our records seems to return as empty on our OAI endpoint: http://eprints.lincoln.ac.uk/cgi/oai2?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=oai_dc&identifier=oai:eprints.lincoln.ac.uk:6922. Other records seem to be coming back okay but this one is broken and is throwing out OpenAire. I’m not sure where I should start looking at debugging this, whether it’s the endpoint or the record itself, so any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
