ASpace DAO 'xlink:audience' fails validation on OAC

ArchivesSpace EAD exports that include digital objects currently fail the OAC ingest process.

The ArchivesSpace EAD export for digital objects currently reads as such:

<dao audience="internal" xlink:actuate="none" xlink:audience="external"
              xlink:href="http://digitalassets.ynhsc.edu/ms296_001.tif " xlink:show="none"
              xlink:title="Watercolor of Brassie fly nymph (fishing fly)" xlink:type="simple">
              <daodesc>
                <p>Watercolor of Brassie fly nymph (fishing fly)</p>
              </daodesc>
            </dao>

'xlink:audience' is not valid. This is a known issue in the ASpace EAD export and it seems they are currently gathering information to address this fix. For details, please see: https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-805?oldIssueView=true

Please feel free to upvote the ticket, or provide additional feedback in the ticket.

In the meantime, the recommended workaround is a manual correction in the XML.

Change:

xlink:audience="external"

to:

audience="external"

Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!
