Hi folks,

We're trying to set up the ArchivesSpace OAI-PMH feed in Digital Collections Gateway (DCG) so that our finding aids can appear in WorldCat.

Unfortunately, the OAI-PMH feed that is coming out of ArchivesSpace isn't passing the pre-check validator in DCG.

We reached out to OCLC, and they said to test the feed using the validator at https://www.openarchives.org/Register/ValidateSite.

When we did so, we got a failure for the <repositoryIdentifier> element, because the value is currently set to "archivesspace" rather than to our domain "auctr.edu".  The domain is what's required in that element according to the guidelines<https://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/guidelines-oai-identifier.htm>.

There's no option to change that particular element, either in the back-end config.rb file<https://archivesspace.github.io/tech-docs/customization/configuration.html>, or in the staff interface "OAI-PMH Settings" page.

Is there any other way to change this value?  Is there something that I'm missing?

Thanks in advance!
