<p>Don't be surprised if the import fails again, with the same message but for a subrecord, or with a different message. That is because the ArchivesSpace EAD importer uses a SAX parser method (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_API_for_XML">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_API_for_XML</a>)
to read the XML, not a DOM (Document Object Model) method. The former is faster and uses less memory, but cannot scan an entire XML file for issues and report back with a list of things to fix, as the latter would. That is why many people use a pre-import
validation step to find most of the issues that might occur, without the laborious process of creating an import job, waiting for it to fail, then re-running.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Harvard have made theirs into a web service which you might find useful:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><a href="https://eadchecker.lib.harvard.edu/">https://eadchecker.lib.harvard.edu/</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I think it is fairly generic (unlike a similar validation script used here which imposes editorial restrictions as well.)<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I’m trying to import a test EAD file that I transformed from MARC XML as a trial run for doing this in batches. I knew it would be janky, but I can’t narrow in on the specific form of the jank here. When I
import I get the error below (it’s long, apologies). My two best guesses are <br>
a) ASpace is missing something in each XML element needed to create an ID in every one of the JSON fields below? (which appears to be the entire resource record)<br>
b) there’s something missing from the <ead> element in the XML file? (which there shouldn’t be – I copied it in manually from an ASpace EAD export)</span><o:p></o:p></p>
