As an example, here's an OAI request for a record that was previously
published and is currently unpublished. I would expect the header to
indicate that the record is deleted rather than giving an error.
<
https://archivesspace.library.nd.edu/oai?verb=GetRecord&identifier=oai:und//repositories/2/resources/1541&metadataPrefix=oai_ead

When published, the record was harvested into our discovery system, but
now that the record has been unpublished, our discovery system still
contains the record.

I’ve definitely seen deletions logged in my EAD OAI harvests, however, I
haven’t tried to trace what actions are connected with those deletions or how
it handles unpublishing portions or archival objects.
I would suppose that it should update the EAD on the next harvest dropping the
unpublished content, and a deletion only occurs when the top level resource is
unpublished, but I can’t confirm that is does what I assume it should.
( I would have to set up some test instances, as for most of the sites I’m
harvesting from, I can’t view resources in the staff interface to check against
the OAI harvest. )

Hi, all.
I'm hoping someone can enlighten me as to the expected behavior of unpublished, put previously
published, records and OAI harvest. In the documentation at <
https://archivesspace.github.io/tech-docs/architecture/oai-pmh/ >, it states
"Unpublished and suppressed records and elements are not included in any of the OAI-PMH
responses."
We've tested that, and it works as described; however, if a published record is harvested, then
the record is unpublished, should a subsequent harvest indicate that the record has been
deleted? If not, then any system that has harvested the record will retain it. From what I can
tell, ASpace does not send an OAI deleted status for records that become unpublished, which
seems contrary to information I found at <
https://www.openarchives.org/OAI/openarchivesprotocol.html#DeletedRecords >, "[i]f a
record is no longer available then it is said to be deleted."
Does anyone have any thoughts? Is there possibly an OAI setting I've missed?
Thanks!
