Help creating XML documents

Hi Serena,

Thanks for those DOIs. I see that the registration of these DOIs failed on 18 October (with submission https://0-doi-crossref-org.libus.csd.mu.edu/servlet/submissionAdmin?sf=detail&submissionID=1652963305 - I’m including the link here so you can see the submission result, this will only be visible if you are logged into the admin tool using the vnir role credentials), but you had success (with submission https://0-doi-crossref-org.libus.csd.mu.edu/servlet/submissionAdmin?sf=detail&submissionID=1653325790) earlier today. Perhaps some of this is moot, but I’ll include it here nevertheless.

Here’s what that failure looked like in submission 1652963305:

We also emailed the submission log with the error message to the email address included in the email_address element of the XML.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<doi_batch_diagnostic status="completed" sp="bstn-prod-ds-03">
   <submission_id>1652963305</submission_id>
   <batch_id>VIFTestBatch1</batch_id>
   <record_diagnostic status="Failure">
      <doi />
      <msg>Error: cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'language' is not allowed to appear in element 'title'.

   </batch_data>

There’s some useful information in the screenshot of the submission results and in the submission log email we sent you. First of all, you can see that we processed this submission in one second. So, if the submission were successful, the DOIs you registered (https://0-doi-org.libus.csd.mu.edu/10.61959/DISX1332E and https://0-doi-org.libus.csd.mu.edu/10.61959/DISX1332F) would have been resolvable using those links directly after 18-Oct-24 13:46:01 EDT.

That error message:

<msg>Error: cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'language' is not allowed to appear in element 'title'.
Error: cvc-complex-type.3.2.2: Attribute 'language' is not allowed to appear in element 'title'.
</msg>

caused your submission to fail. Thus, your DOIs were not registered. This error message indicates that the XML is not formatted correctly. When I see an error like this, I always like to refer to our XML samples so I can compare my XML file to one that is properly formatted.

Comparatively, today’s submission - submission 1653325790 - was successful. It took us a little longer to process this one, since our XML validation checked passed. We processed this submission in ten seconds. And, ever since 21-Oct-24 11:06:51 EDT your DOIs have been registered and your DOI links are resolving: https://0-doi-org.libus.csd.mu.edu/10.61959/DISX1332E and https://0-doi-org.libus.csd.mu.edu/10.61959/DISX1332F

We’re now working on indexing the complete metadata record. It can take us up to 24 hours to do so. So, you should expect these DOIs to appear in our REST API and within search.crossref.org by tomorrow, 22-Oct-24 11:06:51 EDT.

Warm regards,
Isaac
