[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Data migration report

[Nathan Stevens]

Unfortunately, ArchivesSpace requires valid URIs
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_URI_scheme#Windows> for external links,
hence the addition of file:// to document locations.  I could try adding a
thrid slash which may solve this, but if it doesn't, there really isn't
much that can be done on the migration tool side until this requirements
changes in ASpace.

Subdivisions types for Subjects and Name are required in the AT (You cannot
save a record through the AT interface if those types are not selected).
The only way I know of they can be incorrect, or are missing, is when data
is ingested directly into the AT database which the migration tool cannot
account for.

As such, entering correct values for these sub types must done through the
AT backend database directly, and not through the migration tool.
