Background:

Apostrophes (') are included in the Repository Index and are NOT normalized.

If you wish to use a value in a field in repository_replication.xml which includes an apostrophe it must be expressed as the UTF-8 code. If you do not do this the replication will not throw any errors, but it will do NOTHING if there is an apostrophe character in any field.

Example *_idx.xml for such a record:

<record>
<Pid>4102</Pid>
<Label>dogz jpg</Label>

</record>

repository_replication.xml Examples:

In repository_replication.xml we want to include a "Subject" field containing the phrase "Opere d'arte"

If we define it like this, the replication will fail to do anything:

<field key="Subject" op="within">opere d'arte</field>

If we define it like this, with the UTF-8 code U+0027, it will work:

<field key="Subject" op="within">opere dU+0027;arte</field>
