[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Resource for Interpreting EAD ingest error messages

[Bowers, Kate A.]

We are trying to outline a project for the ingest of approximately 6000 finding aids to ArchivesSpace.  One of the diagnostic tools we have is a set of “kitchen sink” finding aids in EAD--that is, EAD with just about every valid element, element combination, and element-attribute in it.

When I attempt to ingest some of these finding aids, all of which validate in Oxygen, I get cryptic error messages such as the one below.

Does a resource exist for interpreting such messages?  Is it a resource for archivists, or for programmers?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Kate
