EAD Import by BibLibre - any suggestions?

Omeka S Import/Export
1

Has anyone used the EAD Import? I’ve installed v2.0 by BibLibre and find that the mapping page is usually blank and thus any effort to import EAD files fails. Would appreadciate any tips etc.

I’m running Omeka-s 4.1.1 with PHP 8.3.3

Thanks
Dana

I added the alert message on mapping view if no element has a “level” attribute. Available on v2.1.0

Thanks you

Hello Dana,

I’m a member of Biblibre and I helped write the module. The EADImport module detects the various “level” attributes present in the structure of the submitted file so that each “level” value can then be configured via separate tabs. It appears that the file you submitted has no “level” attributes in your case, which is why the “mapping” page is blank.

An alert should appear instead of the blank page; I’ll add this fix.

Here is the documentation

Have a nice day

Thank you so much! Having errors visible helped a lot. I’ve determined that much of my struggle was around the precise form of the EAD-XML pages exported by ArchivesSpace.

In the end I ended up having a Python or Bash script removing all namespace information from an ASpace EAD export, adding tags to the (to allow for the import of collection-level data), and then parsing it out to a prepped-xml file via xmllint since the exports of ArchivesSpace seem to produces files of mime-type text/html despite having an xml file extension.

Thanks for writing such a flexible and useful too.
