Hello,

I've sent a few emails (regarding developing and testing a local ARK generation/resolution service for Omeka S) to in...@arks.org over the last few weeks but have not heard back. Is there another email address I should be using?

Thanks!

Elly

Hello

I am not quite sure that I understand your question.
I am not Omeka S.
I do need help with my NAAN though. 
I don't know how to set it up so that it works. I keep getting this message after I type https://n2t.net/ark:/49940

{
  "pid": "ark:49940",
  "scheme": "ark",
  "content": "49940",
  "prefix": "49940",
  "value": null,
  "suffix": "",
  "target": "https://menaraaspenadvisory.co.uk/article/",
  "canonical": "ark:/49940/",
  "status_code": 302,
  "properties": {
    "what": "49940",
    "where": "https://menaraaspenadvisory.co.uk",
    "target": {
      "DEFAULT": {
        "url": "https://menaraaspenadvisory.co.uk/article/${value}",
        "http_code": 302
      }
    },
    "when": "2026-04-03T04:02:23+00:00",
    "who": {
      "name": "Menara Aspen Advisory Journal",
      "name_native": null,
      "acronym": "MAAJ",
      "location": [
        -0.087,
        51.522
      ]
    },
    "na_policy": {
      "orgtype": "FP",
      "policy": [
        "NR",
        "MC"
      ],
      "tenure": "2026",
      "policy_url": null
    },
    "test_identifier": "ark",
    "service_provider": null,
    "purpose": [
      "documents-text"
    ],
    "rtype": "PublicNAAN"
  },
  "definition": {
    "uniq": "ark:49940",
    "scheme": "ark",
    "prefix": "49940",
    "value": "",
    "target": "https://menaraaspenadvisory.co.uk/article/${value}",
    "canonical": "ark:/${prefix}/${value}",
    "synonym_for": null,
    "http_code": 302,
    "values": []
  }
}

When I add a suffix like this - https://arks.org/ark:49940/#article
I get this message
{
  "pid": "ark:49940/",
  "scheme": "ark",
  "content": "49940/",
  "prefix": "49940",
  "value": "",
  "suffix": "",
  "target": "https://menaraaspenadvisory.co.uk/article/",
  "canonical": "ark:/49940/",
  "status_code": 302,
  "properties": {
    "what": "49940",
    "where": "https://menaraaspenadvisory.co.uk",
    "target": {
      "DEFAULT": {
        "url": "https://menaraaspenadvisory.co.uk/article/${value}",
        "http_code": 302
      }
    },
    "when": "2026-04-03T04:02:23+00:00",
    "who": {
      "name": "Menara Aspen Advisory Journal",
      "name_native": null,
      "acronym": "MAAJ",
      "location": [
        -0.087,
        51.522
      ]
    },
    "na_policy": {
      "orgtype": "FP",
      "policy": [
        "NR",
        "MC"
      ],
      "tenure": "2026",
      "policy_url": null
    },
    "test_identifier": "ark",
    "service_provider": null,
    "purpose": [
      "documents-text"
    ],
    "rtype": "PublicNAAN"
  },
  "definition": {
    "uniq": "ark:49940",
    "scheme": "ark",
    "prefix": "49940",
    "value": "",
    "target": "https://menaraaspenadvisory.co.uk/article/${value}",
    "canonical": "ark:/${prefix}/${value}",
    "synonym_for": null,
    "http_code": 302,
    "values": []
  }
}

I keep seeing the ode http_302

Many thanks
Elaine

Hi Elly,

Sorry I'm not able to help you troubleshoot, I'm not a member of the ARK team/alliance. 

Just an outside developer trying to get a response to some tech & workflow questions and looking for the proper channel, as I've had no luck with in...@arks.org

Everyone, just so you know, the all-volunteer ARK Alliance may take some time to respond in case questions to the community don't come up with answers.

Matthew, we're working on connecting you with information on Omeka related issues.

Elly, the NAAN curator group is looking into how best to support your carrd.co use case (a "one-page" site).
