Re: [EP-tech] Altmetric explorer harvest

Hi Ranju,


It looks like you have unsupported (in XML) ASCII characters like Vertical Tab (0x0B) in your abstracts.  You could make the changes in the following Git commit to fix the issue for the oai_dc format, which is the one that Altmetric would use to import from your repository's OAI-PMH interface:


https://github.com/eprints/eprints3.4/commit/94b2b57bb13796b812f516f0f457b43dccd047c2


It also introduces a new EPrints::XML:remove_invalid_chars function to more general tidy up ASCII characters that cannot be represented in XML, mainly control codes [1].  This does not fix the rdf and mets formats in OAI-PMH but I don't think these are generally used.  If I get a chance, I may look into whether these can be similarly fixed.


Regards


David Newman

Hi Team,

Our University has purchased  Altmetric Explorer and now they want to harvest metadata from our IR

But they seem to have come across some items (I think old ones) that have some characters that are corrupt or not encoded properly in some fileds (mostly in Abstract field) and that gives invalid XML error, when they try to harvest. There are several thousand items in our IR so bit difficult for me to check what items might have that issue, is there any script or something that I could run against our items and spot those ?


Any help is appreciated.

Best regards,
Ranju
