This FAQ is subject to change because the WMDA is developing and improving the application.

If your registry can not submit the XML format you must inform WMDA as soon as possible. The deadline to completely switchover to the new XML format is fixed. By contacting us we can investigate options to help your organisations with every help we can provide to smoothly transition to this format. Please contact the WMDA office as soon as possible through support@bmdw.org, so we can discuss the appropriate course of action.

To use the REST API Service for uploading you can use your regular BMDW upload account. If you need an (extra) account for uploading, please send your request to support@bmdw.org. More information about the REST API Service can be found here. In case you would like to do some more testing we recommend using https://restlet.com/. The BMDW Upload platform uses Pydio, there is more info on the API capabilities on https://pydio.com/en/pydio-api-v2.

A file will be rejected if your uploaded file contains less that 10% records of the total records you have uploaded previously into the database.
