[Archivesspace_Users_Group] EAD import error: Unexpected Object Type in Queue

[Jaime Margalotti]

I imported all of our EAD finding aids into ArchivesSpace and had numerous
errors.  Some I've managed to troubleshoot on my own and some others are
still baffling me.

For one failed upload I received the error: "Unexpected Object Type in
Queue: expected archival_object got note_singlepart"

According to the Controlled Vale List for note_singlepart_type, this
unexpected tag was abstract, langmaterial, materialspec, physdesc,
physfacet, or physloc.

We can toss out materialspec, physfacet, and physloc because they do not
appear in the finding aid.  The abstract, langmaterial, and physdesc for
the collection level were exactly where they were in all of the
successfully uploaded finding aids.  The only thing I can assume is that
there is some issue with the component physdesc.

Example:
<c02 level="item"><did> <container type="box">1</container>
<container type="folder">F10</container>
<unittitle>Europe, Steichen, Newport<unitdate normal="1897/1945"
type="inclusive">undated</unitdate></unittitle> <physdesc>6
leaves</physdesc><dao actuate="onrequest" show="new" linktype="simple"
title="PDF of item" href="
http://dspace.udel.edu:8080/dspace/bitstream/handle/19716/11737/MSS0149_F10.pdf
"><daodesc><p>PDF</p></daodesc></dao></did></c02>

As far as I can tell, there's nothing wrong here either.

Any ideas?

Is there anyplace in the documentation that delves a little more
specifically into the meaning of the specific error messages?

Thanks,
Jaime
