Classification Schemes: URI Validation on Special CharactersClassification Schemes: URI Validation on Special Characters

What

When creating new classification schemes with special characters you may get the following error:

A valid Pure URI consists of words (Latin letters only) and numbers, separated by either '/' or '_'. For example: /dk/atira/pure/keywords/my_structured_keywords. The following values are invalid classification scheme URIs.

Why

Pure will auto-generate a URI based on your term "(VP) Pure Lead" where special characters and spaces are replaced with underscores, resulting in /dk/atira/pure/upm/collaborator/_vp_pure_lead".

Example:

Example:

If you want to keep the term with parenthesis you can manually edit the autogenerated URI. Just remove the underscore before "vp" as shown on the image below. You will then end up with this URI: /dk/atira/pure/upm/collaborator/vp_pure_lead

Example:
