Hi, George, I've run into some odd display problems that related to metadata that was wrong in unplanned-for ways, such as an incomplete or null URI field (due to quota issues with our database). I ended up resolving those issues by working with the Oracle tables directly, using SQL Developer on my desktop. If you're running PostreSQL, the idea would be similar: query and modify the metadata directly, using whatever tool you have on hand for database inspection and editing.
