XML invalid entries in RoR

[Paul Harrison]

Hi,

there is quite a large proportion of the entries for registries in the RoR that are technically XML invalid

e.g.  

% curl "http://rofr.ivoa.net/oai?verb=GetRecord&metadataPrefix=ivo_vor&identifier=ivo://src.pas/__system__/services/registry"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<oai:OAI-PMH xmlns:oai="http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/ http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/OAI-PMH.xsd">

<oai:responseDate>2025-02-11T08:12:20Z</oai:responseDate>
<oai:request verb="GetRecord" metadataPrefix="ivo_vor" identifier="ivo://src.pas/__system__/services/registry">http://rofr.ivoa.net/oai</oai:request>

<oai:GetRecord>

</oai:record>
</oai:GetRecord>

</oai:OAI-PMH>

is invalid as there is no declaration of the namespace of the vg: prefix. Although it is obvious what namespace this is referring to, if the output is read via an XML processor it will immediately stop at this error. I am not sure what the is the official way of getting these entries fixed, but clearly the most efficient would be a bulk update on the RoR content if someone has that access.

Paul.
