1. The value in the Bibliographic ID Label and Other Identifier Type field must be an acceptable value in the configured list of valid values within the Avalon system. The following are default, but others could be added: "local", "oclc", “lccn", "issue number", "matrix number", "music publisher","video recording identifier", and "other". Users should be aware and take heed if straying from these default  values.

Validation service call

Avalon Media System users who want to validate their Manifest files prior to moving through the Archivematica preservation process can test their Manifest CSVs by sending the CSV to an endpoint in the Archivematica API. 

Usage example: (assuming that path/to/Manifest.csv exists)

curl http://127.0.0.1:62080/api/v2beta/validate/avalon \
  --data-binary "@path/to/Manifest.csv" \
  --header "Authorization: ApiKey test:test" \
  --header "Content-Type: text/csv; charset=utf-8"

Note on above example: do not use --data, use --data-binary instead.

Response examples:

200 OK
(Response was valid)
{
  "valid": true
}

400 Bad Request
(Expect reason to include different validation errors, or that the file could not be found)
{
  "valid": false,
  "reason": "Administrative data must include reference name and author."
}

404 Not Found
(Validator was not found.)
{
  "error": true,
  "message": "Unknown validator. Accepted values: avalon"
}

This request can be performed manually, per manifest, or set to run regularly on all files in a folder using the cron service or another script scheduler.
