OAC / Calisphere Contributor Help Center

During your finding aid submission process, you may encounter an error that looks like this:

/apps/dsc/data/in/oac-ead/submission/example.xml:61:0:ERROR:SCHEMASV:SCHEMAV_CVC_DATATYPE_VALID_1_2_1: Element '{urn:isbn:1-931666-22-9}
container', attribute 'type': '' is not a valid value of the atomic type 'xs:NMTOKEN'.

This is an issue in which the containers indicated in the EAD record have an empty "type" attribute. Looking at the XML file, you may see something like this:

<c01
    id="aspace_170fe5"
    level="item">
        <did>
            <unittitle>Series 2</unittitle>
            <unitdate>undated</unitdate>
            <container 
                id="aspace_d392c9" 
                label="Mixed Materials" 
                type="">Box 6
            </container>
        </did>
</c01>

Please feel free to open up the resource record and indicate the "Container Type," as shown in this image:
