Knowning nothing about OAI, little about XML Schema, and out of practice with validation in general, I still attempted to at least validate your docs. (It was interesting question in the back of my head of exactly how to validate some of the XML schema docs, so it was worth it.) I downloaded oai.xml, oai_dc.xsd, ran xmllint --schema oai_dc.xsd oai.xml and got a couple of errors. They all look like parser errors and not anything wrong with the schema. I'm assuming that's because I don't know what the heck I'm doing in that respect. oai.xml:4: namespace error : Namespace prefix oai on repositoryName is not defined <oai:repositoryName>Lunar and Planetary Institute</oai:repositoryName> ^ oai.xml:5: namespace error : Namespace prefix oai on baseURL is not defined <oai:baseURL>http://www.lpi.usra.edu/library/oai.xml</oai:baseURL> ^ oai.xml:6: namespace error : Namespace prefix oai on protocolVersion is not defined <oai:protocolVersion>2.0</oai:protocolVersion> ^ oai.xml:7: namespace error : Namespace prefix oai on adminEmail is not defined <oai:adminEmail>[log in to unmask]</oai:adminEmail> ^ oai.xml:8: namespace error : Namespace prefix oai on earliestDatestamp is not defined <oai:earliestDatestamp>2006-05-20</oai:earliestDatestamp> ^ oai.xml:9: namespace error : Namespace prefix oai on deletedRecord is not defined <oai:deletedRecord>no</oai:deletedRecord> ^ oai.xml:10: namespace error : Namespace prefix oai on granularity is not defined <oai:granularity>YYY-MM-DD</oai:granularity> ^ oai.xml:13: namespace error : Namespace prefix oai on matadataFormat is not defined <oai:matadataFormat> ^ oai.xml:14: namespace error : Namespace prefix oai on metadataPrefix is not defined <oai:metadataPrefix>oai:dc</oai:metadataPrefix> ^ oai.xml:15: namespace error : Namespace prefix oai on schema is not defined <oai:schema>http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/oai_dc.xsd</oai:schema> ^ oai.xml:16: namespace error : Namespace prefix oai on metadataNamespace is not defined <oai:metadataNamespace>http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/oai_dc/<oai:metadataN ^ oai.xml:16: namespace error : Namespace prefix oai on metadataNamespace is not defined adataNamespace>http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/oai_dc/<oai:metadataNamespace ^ oai.xml:17: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: metadataNamespace line 16 and matadataFormat </oai:matadataFormat> ^ oai.xml:100: parser error : Premature end of data in tag dc line 92 ^ oai.xml:100: parser error : Premature end of data in tag metadataNamespace line 16 ^ oai.xml:100: parser error : Premature end of data in tag matadataFormat line 13 ^ oai.xml:100: parser error : Premature end of data in tag ListMetadataFormats line 12 ^ oai.xml:100: parser error : Premature end of data in tag Repository line 2 ^ Jonathan T.
