"Download the cataloging information in XML format" function #20

Closed johnhuck closed 9 years ago

johnhuck commented 9 years ago

This function does not seem to be working at the moment. The function will likely be required to support the export of metadata to be ingested into Hydra North prior to its launch. Can this be easily remedied? Thanks

I tried this out with one of the studies in the Thom Hess Collection in the UA Dataverse: http://dx.doi.org/10.7939/DVN/10137

When I click on Download catalog info I'm taken to the following URL:

https://dataverse.library.ualberta.ca:80/dvn/api/metadata/87

which is a blank page. Trying save file as gives a server error.

I think this has to do with the port (80) being in the URL. If I try the following URL (without the port)

https://dataverse.library.ualberta.ca/dvn/api/metadata/87

I get a DDI file in XML which I can view in the browser or download. (The XML is a little on the wonky side though so we may want to look at it a little more closely).

Over to the experts to dig further!

I've got the same problem. It's working fine on Hibernian, development server. Even though, it also has :80 at the end of domain name. I think might be something on the web server configuration. I've submitted a ticket to Henry. He will take care of the problem.

You can also export all items from the Utilities tab on the admin interface. The metadata will be on the server. Let me know if you want to do that. I can work with Henry to get them for you.

piyapongch commented 9 years ago

You can get Dataverse's metadata in oai_dc, ddi and marc format.

johnhuck commented 9 years ago

Thanks, both. This gives me a couple of avenues to follow. My first issue submitted on github and a speedy response!

piyapongch commented 9 years ago

I've exported all items on Dataverse. They're now on the server. Henry will collect them and give to me later this week. I'll then give them to you. Just in case, you want to investigate in other item.

sfarnel commented 9 years ago

Thanks Piyapong.

Sharon, I think the wonkiness is only in the embedded html, where every opening angle bracket has been escaped (to prevent it being interpreted as an xml element). If I open it in Oxygen and hit ctrl-I to reformat, it looks ok, though there are a couple of validation errors for DVN-specific values that presumably aren't in the DDI schema. Does that match your experience?

Thanks Peter. After playing a bit, you're right; the weirdness was fixed with reformatting. And the validity problems are with the DVN specific info. I see that other Dataverse instances have different versions of DDI available for download. Something for future consideration.

I think I've found how to fix the metadata download broken link. I'm going to try this morning.

piyapongch commented 9 years ago

I've fixed the problem and redeployed the application on the production server. The feature is now working properly.

Thanks, Piyapong!
