[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Mixed content causing errors in OAI response?

[Michelle Paquette]

Hi all,

I'm analyzing the various metadata responses via OAI-PMH from our instance
of ArchivesSpace, and believe I've found a bug but wanted to ask the
collective wisdom before I file a ticket about it in case something weird
is happening specifically with our data.

Certain types of mixed content (I've found it happen specifically with
<title>, though I'm still looking for other examples) seem to lead to the
content within that set of tags being moved to the front of a note in the
MODS, DC, and dcterms response metadata.

For example, the Scope and Contents note for the Lola Ridge papers in its
raw format reads "The Lola Ridge Papers consist of manuscripts,
correspondence, art work, biographical material, clippings, diaries,
memorabilia, photographs, reviews, and her published works. The manuscript
material consists of drafts of the poems published in <title
render=\"italic\">Firehead </title> (1929)..." In the MODS, DC, and dcterms
OAI-PMH responses, however, we get "Firehead The Lola Ridge Papers consist
of manuscripts, correspondence, art work, biographical material, clippings,
diaries, memorabilia, photographs, reviews, and her published works. The
manuscript material consists of drafts of the poems published in (1929)..."

Has anyone else noticed this happening?

Michelle
