XPath expression for searching OAI identifier

[JohnMrziglod]

We need the XPath expression for the OAI identifier in the XML files. How it didn't work:

<field name="OAI-PMH identifier">
      <xpath>//header/identifier/text()</xpath>
</field>

What is wrong?

Two separate issues:

• The OAI-PMH envelope of the record, containing the header, must be included in the XML file (and not only the metadata content inside it, like in the oaitestdata directory).
• The namespace of the header was also missing. I see that Heinrich fixed that one already in 265ce23f4a96940736477faffa5ba59685d08479.

As long as the header is available, it works.

yes, you are right. Meanwhile we use an OAI python implementation (Sickle), that writes as well the header in the XML file.

• The namespace of the header was also missing. I see that Heinrich fixed that one already in 265ce23 https://github.com/B2FIND/md-mapping/commit/265ce23f4a96940736477faffa5ba59685d08479.

Yep :-), know it seems to work as we want. Thanks, Heinrich
