[OAI-implementers] Error 'could not find setSpec in header' in repository explorer

[Hussein Suleman]

hi

firstly, the "Test Result: OK" refers to the previous test, which 
apparently succeeded.

the error you got means that the tester obtained a record from the set 
"DL:Kwords:1", which is apparently a setSpec returned by ListSets. 
setSpec in the header corresponding to that identifier contained 
"Economics" instead of "DL:Kwords:1", which should have been there (at 
the least).

i think it may be possible that you are confusing setSpec with setName - 
the former is a machine-readable unique identifier for the set, while 
the latter is a human-readable description

hope this helps ...

ttfn,
