[Metadatalibrarians] Any OCLC Digital Gateway experiences?

[Finn, Mary]

Hi Marielle,

I use the OCLC DG and it doesn't take qualified DC, at least as of six months ago it didn't anyway. The instructions  I wrote to myself are as follows: 

If we choose qualified (attempt to map) DC within the Gateway, we’ll get an error that says the first level metadata cannot be validated, and nothing will go in. The developers at OCLC are aware of this. 
If you use OCLC DG, you have to accept that it will only take unqualified DC.

Best. Mary

Hi everyone:
  Has anybody here used the OCLC Digital Gateway to harvest metadata from BePress Digital Commons software to send to OCLC in qualified Dublin core? If so, have you been successful? If not, could you please tell me your story or share any experience you have had with it? Would like to know. :)  I have had success harvesting with the MarcEdit Harvesting tool, which is excellent, but not so much with the OCLC Digital Gateway.


Thanks,
