Recover gracefully from invalid MARC #242

Closed rjyounes closed 9 years ago

rjyounes commented 9 years ago

Currently if there are certain types of invalid MARC in a record (see one case in issue #214), the converter fails not only to process the record, but all other records in the file. Most desirable (in my opinion) would be to continue processing the rest of the record, or at least the other records in the file.

If you use the saxon processor, there is currently no try/catch capability, but if you use MarkLogic or Zorba, you can have this functionality.

I have a similar issue: see the MARC record pasted below. Running marc2bibframe in eXist 2.2, this record causes the transformation to fail silently, without throwing an error. Similarly, LC's online transformation service fails with this record, with an HTTP 412 (precondition failed) error. I personally can't see anything invalid in the record, but maybe I am overlooking something.

However, a colleague just ran it through marc2bibframe in oXygen using Saxon, and the transformation completed successfully! Puzzling.

ntra00 commented 9 years ago

I tried this record, and it failed becuase there is no reference to the marcslim namespace using our converter (zorba may be less forgiving than saxon?) If you use our converter and set the serialization to "log" instead of rdfxml or json, you'll see any errors.

timathom commented 9 years ago

Ah, good point! Knew I was missing something obvious. Thanks, I'll try the "log" option.
