<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi, all.<br>
<br>
Before I get to the question, let me give some background. We've been <br>
successfully harvesting EAD records from ASpace. We're currently running <br>
v2.8.1 and when we test the harvest on v3.3 we consistently get timeout <br>
problems where sometimes ASpace will simply stop responding or return <br>
some error. Some of our records are very large, but this happens when we <br>
request even relatively small records.<br>
<br>
As a work-around, we wanted to try harvesting records in MARCXML format. <br>
It doesn't provide all of the data that are included in the EAD record, <br>
but it's good enough for our purposes.<br>
<br>
The problem we have with harvesting records in MARCXML format is that <br>
ASpace returns not only resource records (which are the only records <br>
returned by EAD) but also records for archival objects, which we don't <br>
want. That is, we want records with an identifier of<br>
<br>
<identifier>oai:und//repositories/2/resources/1301</identifier><br>
<br>
but not<br>
<br>
<identifier>oai:und//repositories/2/archival_objects/673199</identifier><br>
<br>
When I add set=fonds to the OAI URL, I do get just resources (plus <br>
deleted records), which is pretty much what I would expect, but not all <br>
of our resources are fonds. When I add set=collections, I start getting <br>
archival objects as well as resources. And without specifying a set, I <br>
get a mix of resources and archival objects. (Our harvester also doesn't <br>
allow us to request specific records, just a set and a beginning/ending <br>
date.)<br>
<br>
So, my question is: Is there a way to harvest MARCXML records only for <br>
resources?<br>
<br>
I hope this makes sense. I've not an archivist, so I hope I'm stating <br>
things adequately.<br>
