[gcs-pcs-list] Skolr for testing UnAPI / Wordpress UnAPI bug

[Martin Hald]

For those of you who are using UnAPI with Dublin Core metadata and are interested in testing it out the Skolr project has an UnAPI integration.  Skolr is an ongoing NSDL project to research personal digital libraries.  From within Skolr you can setup a greasemonkey _javascript_ script the creates a "Save to Skolr" link on any UnAPI enabled page that includes DC support. So, here is how you can test out your UnAPI resource.  Setup: Goto http://www.skolr.org/people/unapi/sources/add login with unapi/unapi2 Click on "Save references directly from digital library using UnAPI" on the right hand side Install greasemonkey if needed Right click on the skolr_unapi.js and install script (or view script then install it) Test go to an UnAPI page and there should be a "Save to Skolr" link. For those who notice the UnAPI link to Oregon State University on the setup page, the production server is currently not showing the <abbr> due to an upgrade but when we have time we will return and re-enable the UnAPI service at OSU. Which brings me to the wordpress plugin.  From what I can tell there is a bug in the implementation.  When it chops off the first 500 characters of the entry it does so after the entry has been made HTML-safe, thereby if there was a & and the quote was translated into &amp; it becomes non-XML safe and breaks parsers.  This is currently the case for the "Our latest article... " entry. I have attached the Skolr error page as a PDF and it includes details from the XML parser and shows the metadata returned from the UnAPI blog to Skolr.  If the first 500 characters are chosen before the text is made HTML-safe the issue should go away.
