<div class="">Are they namespaced schema conforming EAD or are they based on the DTD ? </div>
<div class="">I don’t think I’ve ever seen a completely empty import log — that makes me think it isn’t recognizing it as EAD. </div>
<div class="">( And not being schema conforming is my first guess at a reason. ) </div>

<div class="">1. Check the the XML is well formed. I use xmllint or Oxygen Editor. ( or google for online validators ) </div>
<div class="">2. Validate against the EAD schema. Again, I use xmllint or Oxygen. </div>
<div class=""> get a copy from: <a href="http://www.loc.gov/ead/eadschema.html" class="">

<div class="">3. Try validating against the schematron rules at: <a href="https://github.com/fordmadox/schematrons" class="">

<div class=""> This may be a bit more difficult to manage. We had some discussion at the NYU workshop about </div>
<div class=""> setting this up as a supported service, so people don’t have to deal with figuring out how to run</div>
<div class=""> Schematron, but I haven’t had a change to look at this. But if you get this far, ask and we’ll </div>
<div class=""> figure out how to help. </div>
<div class="">4. You can also run the EADConverted from IRB console and output the JSON model. </div>
<div class=""> But if there’s nothing in the log file, I doubt you’re getting that far in the import. </div>

Good afternoon,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I've been tasked with figuring out why a simple EAD file fails to be imported into ArchivesSpace. I suspect it's an error with the XML file's formatting, such as a missing tag, but I don't know enough about the file type to verify it by eye. I
thought I'd ask if there's any tool archivists use to verify that their EAD files are correct. When imported into ArchivesSpace, the job fails and there is an empty error log; I don't have anything else to go on, unfortunately.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thank you very much for your time,</div>
