Noted in the issue tracker:

The very first item in the JSON list is an empty string, causing the
BibServer import machinery to fail.
If you would like to test it, just remove that line manually.
See:
{
   "records" : [
      "",
      {
         "identifiers" : [
            {
               "type" : "local",

I have added a check to the BibServer code, this case will work in future.

Also,  the fields prefixed with dc: namespaces are not recognised and
displayed nicely when imported (eg. dc:title). Not sure if we should
map that in BibServer.
