[EP-tech] EPrint 3.3.11 Failed to OAI import to WorldCat Digital Collection Gateway due to setSpec being larger then 255 characters

I attempting to upload our Metadata from our EPrints version 3.3.11 repository to the WorldCat Digital Collection Gateway using  OAI-PMH.

 

I received the following error message from the Digital Collection Gateway site, from page http://www.worldcat.org/DigitalCollectionGateway/collection_list.jsp

 

## Collection contained data too large for Digitial Collection Gateway.

## Collection constraints:

##

##     SetSpec cannot be larger than 255 characters

##    Name cannot be larger than 1000 characters

 

Examining the results of the OAI-PMH ListSets verb from my repository for large SetSpec values, I see results with setSpec length larger than 255:

It appears that due to the verbosity of MeSH headings, which we are using for subjects, has exceeded WorldCat Digital Collection Gateway capacity.

 

Can anyone suggest a workaround?

Has anyone created a setSpec encode or decode code that will keep the values shorter?

 

Thanks
