Preface  [toc]
Encoded Archival Description (EAD) is the international metadata transmission standard for hierarchical descriptions of archival records. Developed by the EAD Working Group of the Society of American Archivists and first published in 1998, EAD is an Extensible Markup Language (XML) format used by archivists around the globe. A second version with greater international alignment, EAD 2002, was released as a DTD in 2002 and in 2007 as Relax NG and W3C schemas. The development of EAD made it possible to create electronic finding aids within a specifically archival data structure compliant with General International Standard Archival Description (ISAD(G)). This innovation was a crucial impetus behind the swift migration of archival description to the internet, the acceptance of national archival descriptive content standards like Describing Archives: A Content Standard (DACS), and the emergence of a professional consensus that archival description existed to be shared widely and shared well.
This new version of Encoded Archival Description – EAD3 – exists thanks to the efforts and support of many people, but it exists because of the many archivists and repositories around the world that saw the utility of EAD, used it in diverse and inspiring ways, and continue to recognize many ways in which it might work better.
In the years between the release of EAD 2002 and 2010, when the revision process that led to EAD3 began, the technological landscape surrounding archival description evolved enormously. Collection management systems, such as the Archivists’ Toolkit, Archon, and ICA-AtoM, offered the robust advantages of modelling descriptive information in relational databases, but exposed the difficulty of adapting the EAD document model in data-centric applications. Linked Open Data emerged as a viable methodology for creating a semantically meaningful Web, for which EAD was poorly prepared. New and closely related metadata transmission standards were developed, most notably Encoded Archival Context – Corporate bodies, Persons, and Families (EAC-CPF), opening new frontiers in archival metadata. Finally, over a decade of working with EAD gave archivists a general sense that it was too complex, too forgiving, and too flexible for its own good.
In 2010, following an update to its by-laws concerning standards maintenance, the SAA Standards Committee charged a new Technical Subcommittee for Encoded Archival Description (TS-EAD) to oversee the maintenance of the standard. Recognizing that EAD needed an update, its charge instructed TS-EAD to complete a revision of the standard within five years.
TS-EAD completed the revision of EAD with the help of the SAA Schema Development Team and with many contributions, large and small, from the international EAD community. EAD3 is the result of four public comment periods, countless feedback, three working meetings, numerous conference calls, regular presentations to the EAD Roundtable, and lots of careful analysis, spirited discussion, and hard-won compromise. Notable milestones in the revision process include the initial comment period, which shaped our early agenda; a three-day TS-EAD working meeting at Yale University’s Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, which established a clear direction; and the alpha, beta, and gamma schema releases, which gave the EAD community concrete examples to test and critique.
Early in the revision process TS-EAD published four points of emphasis to guide us as we weighed the benefits of changes to EAD.
Achieving greater conceptual and semantic consistency in the use of EAD.



Exploring mechanisms whereby EAD-encoded information might more seamlessly and effectively connect with, exchange, or incorporate data maintained according to other protocols.



Improving the functionality of EAD for representing descriptive information created in international and particularly in multilingual environments.



Being mindful that a new version will affect current users.



All of the changes made in EAD3 can be seen in the context of these four points. Throughout the revision process, the most difficult decisions concerned proposals that highlighted tensions between them, especially between making EAD more consistent and aligned to other standards and mitigating impact on current users.
TS-EAD’s decision-making process focused on detailed analysis and consensus-building within the committee. As we received proposals from the community or fellow committee members, individuals or small groups did additional work to better understand the request, clarify the specific impact on the schema, and make recommendations to the committee. Many issues were revisited multiple times as we collectively came to understand better our goals and their impact. Although healthy differences of opinion persisted throughout the revision process, ultimately only one issue had to be decided by an executive decision by the co-chairs. In the alpha schema element and attribute names were converted to camel case, as is the convention in EAC-CPF. This met our goals of conceptual consistency and interoperability with EAC-CPF, but we received strong feedback from the community arguing against the change. Entrenched and opposing opinions – all with strong justifications from our points of emphasis – remained within TS-EAD; ultimately the co-chairs decided to honor precedent and sensitivity to the impact on users and opted to remove camel case.
Of the changes made in EAD3, the most extensive departure from EAD 2002 is the replacement of <eadheader> with <control>. Borrowed from EAC-CPF with some enhancements, <control> offers a better model for representing information about finding aids, including its identifiers, status, languages, conventions, maintenance history, and sources. One notable change to <control> as modelled in EAC-CPF is the inclusion of <filedesc> from <eadheader>. As an aggregation of descriptions of all the material in an archival collection, finding aids have bibliographic attributes, such as a title or a publication statement captured in <filedesc>, that are not necessary when documenting authority records.
The elements available within <did> (Descriptive Identification) were extensively updated in order to better support the exchange of key descriptive data between EAD3 and other systems. Some <did> elements, including <origination>, <repository>, and <langmaterial>, were modified to remove mixed content and other ambiguities. The existing <unitdate> and <physdesc> elements were felt to be too lax to constrain and still provide a forward migration path, so new <unitdatestructured> and <physdescstructured> elements were added. These "structured" elements provide nuanced data models for capturing temporal and physical description, while the original elements remain in modified form as unstructured alternatives and to allow for forward migration from EAD 2002. Whereas these new elements provided additional structure, the <daogrp> element, which allowed the creation of extended links to digital archival objects, was simplified to <daoset>, which binds two or more simple <dao> elements.
The access point elements available within <controlaccess>, e.g. <persname>, <subject>, <genreform>, etc., were modified in several ways. Each must now contain one or more <part> elements so that multi-part terms may be accurately represented in EAD, allowing, for example, the separate capture of an individual’s surname, forename, and life dates, etc. They also now share a common set of attributes to improve interoperability with external vocabularies: @identifier, for the code or URI associated with a term, @source, for identifying the originating vocabulary, and @rules, for recording how terms are formulated. The <geogname> element now has an optional child <geographiccoordinates> for encoding longitude, latitude, and altitude information.
Support for multilingual description was addressed by adding @lang and @script attributes to all non-empty elements in EAD3, making it possible to explicitly state what language or script is used therein. Additionally, some elements were modified to allow them to repeat where previously they did not, thus enabling the inclusion of the same data in multiple languages.
Early in the revision process there were multiple requests to simplify EAD, and one suggested measure was reducing the number of elements. However, TS-EAD decided that consistency and semantic clarity was a better measure of simplicity, not the number of elements in the schema. The <note> element is a useful case study. In EAD 2002 <note> was available in 8 distinct contexts, each representing a subtly different usage; in EAD3 the <note> element has been replaced with context-specific elements, including <didnote>, <controlnote>, and <footnote>.
Many other changes can be categorized as supporting the drive for greater conceptual and sematic consistency in EAD. Major descriptive elements that previously could be contained in other descriptive elements were removed in those contexts. For example, <arrangement> is no longer a permitted child of <scopecontent>, <unitdate> is no longer a permitted child of <unittitle>, and <dao> is now only available within <did>. Block and formatting elements like <list>, <blockquote>, <quote>, were modified or created to more closely resemble their HTML counterparts. The <chronlist> element was updated to incorporate <geogname> to convey the locations where events occur, more closely aligning it with its namesake in EAC-CPF. Mixed content models were streamlined to three progressively inclusive sets of elements allowed to intermix with text. Attribute names were disambiguated throughout the schema: @role was changed to @relator on access point elements and @linkrole on linking elements, @type was renamed through the schema to @localtype where no values are supplied by the schema, and to @elementnametype (e.g. @listtype and @unitdatetype) where specified values are supplied. Linking elements – of which there were many in EAD 2002 – were consolidated to a handful and limited to simple links, eliminating overly complicated extended links. The XLink model for linking attributes was preserved, but the XLink namespace, which had been added to the schema versions of EAD 2002, was removed due to the onerous and needless complexity that namespaces introduce when processing XML. Elements that existed solely to support formatting and presentation or were otherwise deemed out of scope for archival description were deprecated, including <frontmatter>, <descgrp>, <runner>, <imprint>, and <bibseries>.
The feature of EAD3 that caused the most heated discussion within TS-EAD was the inclusion of the <relations> element. Introduced in EAC-CPF and added to EAD3 with some modifications, <relations> is available at any level of description and contains one or more <relation> elements. A <relation> describes – in a Linked Open Data-friendly way – the relationship between the records being described and a corporate body, person or family; an archival or bibliographic resource; a function; or another type of external entity. That relationship can be an actionable link and may be qualified by supplying relevant dates or geographic names. XML describing the related entity may be embedded within the <objectxmlwrap> element.
TS-EAD could not reach a consensus regarding the inclusion of <relations>. Some members felt strongly that including <relations> was essential in order to support rich Linked Open Data applications, align with EAC-CPF, and acknowledge draft guidelines on relationships in archival description published by the ICA Committee on Best Practices and Standards. Others felt that it duplicated functionality present in <controlaccess> and other existing elements, added unnecessary complexity, and that incorporating robust support for Linked Open Data was premature. We ultimately negotiated a compromise: <relations> would be included in EAD3 as an "experimental" element. As an experimental element, it is not guaranteed that <relations> will persist in the next version of EAD in its current form. However, TS-EAD encourages its use so that the EAD community will learn more about how the <relations> model works within archival description. Put simply, a consensus will require more data and experience, and including <relations> provisionally makes that possible.
The revision of EAD 1.0 to EAD 2002 established a precedent that elements to be removed from EAD would first be deprecated – suppressed but available if necessary – before being removed from subsequent versions. All elements deprecated in EAD 2002 were removed from EAD3. TS-EAD endeavored to honor the commitment to deprecate removed elements, however the extent of the changes in EAD3 made comprehensive deprecation impossible. Elements to be removed entirely from the standard remain available in undeprecated versions of EAD3. These include <frontmatter>, <descgrp>, <imprint>, <bibseries>, and <runner>, as well as the @tpattern attribute. Elements that were replaced by other elements offering commensurate functionality, or whose availability within the standard changed are in most cases not supported in undeprecated EAD3. Two exceptions to that rule are the full EAD 2002 versions of <physdesc> and <unitdate> within <unittitle>, both of which are available in undeprecated EAD3.
EAD3 replaces EAD 2002 as the current, official version of EAD. EAD 2002 was available as a DTD, Relax NG schema, and W3C schema. Additionally, the DTD could be edited to enable the inclusion of deprecated elements. EAD3 continues to be available in DTD, Relax NG, and W3C versions. For repositories who choose to continue to use deprecated elements, an undeprecated version of EAD3 is available in DTD, Relax NG, and W3C varieties. Due to differences between DTDs and schemas, the <objectxmlwrap> element is not available in the DTD versions of EAD3. A Schematron schema is also available to provide further validation functionality for EAD instances, imposing data constraints that either cannot be expressed in DTD, Relax NG, and W3C, or were intentionally removed from the schemas by TS-EAD due to challenges of maintaining code lists outside of our control or to allow alternative data sources or patterns.
All code related to EAD3, including the schemas and DTDs, Schematron schema, and migration style sheet, will be shared with a Creative Commons CC0 license, placing them in the public domain. This tag library is published with a Creative Commons CC BY license, allowing others to distribute, remix, tweak, and build upon it, even commercially, as long as they credit SAA for the original tag library.
EAD3 was possible because of the generous support of the Society of American Archivists, the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Nationaal Archief of the Netherlands, the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, the Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities at the University of Virginia, and OCLC Research. Each member of TS-EAD* made invaluable contributions to EAD3, but two merit special mention: Terry Catapano, Schema Development Team chair, for leading the technical development of EAD3, and Kelcy Shepherd, for leading the revision of the Tag Library.

Preface to Revision 1.1.0  [toc]
EAD3 underwent its first revision from 2018 January 16 to 2018 February 28 in order to address schema errors and expand the standard's element set. This revision consisted of seven changes - one new element (rightsdeclaration), two schema bugfixes, and four datatype/attribute extensions. These changes reflect feedback on the EAD3 1.0.0 release and accomodate requirements for data sharing set forth by consortial members.
EAD3 Revision 1.1.0 sets a new policy for schema releases, in which smaller updates and fixes can be released on a regular basis. These changes will not invalidate existing records, nor will it break existing interoperability - minor revisions will only be expansive.
This update was revised and implemented by the SAA Technical Subcommittee for Encoded Archival Standards (TS-EAS), following a period of feedback in January-February 2018.
Preface to Revision 1.1.1  [toc]
EAD3 underwent its first patch revision in 2019. This patch includes one change to the <ref> element, which now allows <foreign> as sub-element and two fixes to the XSD schema.
Furthermore, the updated EAD3 tag library includes additional as well as extended examples for certain elements.
Preface to Revision 1.1.2  [toc]
EAD3 underwent its second minor revision in 2023. This patch includes updates to external controlled vocabularies, a fix to the @parallel attribute, and an example update to @linkrole.
Tag Library Conventions  [toc]
The EAD Elements section of the Tag Library contains descriptions of 165 elements, arranged alphabetically by element name. It presents information for each element as shown in Figure 1.
EAD_figure1.jpg
Figure 1. Layout of element descriptions.
Entries in the Tag Library that have been updated in the latest revision will be marked with "(revised in [revision number])". Updates that predate the most recent revision will not be marked in the text.
Tag Name:
Short, mnemonic form of the element name that is used in the machine-readable encoded document. The tag name is the first word at the top of the page. Tag names appear between angle brackets, e.g., <archdesc>, except in the listings under "May occur within" and "May contain," and are always in lowercase.
Element Name:
Expanded version of the tag name that more fully describes the element's meaning. The full name of the element is usually a word or phrase that identifies the element's purpose. In the Tag Library, the element name follows the tag name on the page defining that element and appears with initial capital letters, e.g., <archdesc> Archival Description.
Summary:
A brief statement that provides a concise definition of the element, suitable for quick reference.
May Contain:
Identifies what child nodes (text or elements) may occur within the element being defined. Elements are listed in alphabetical order by tag name. Elements may be empty (e.g., an element which allows no child text or element nodes), or they may contain text (listed as [text]), other elements, or a mixture of text and other elements.Text content cannot include characters that would be interpreted by a parser as action codes. For example, a left angle bracket has to be represented as the character entity reference &lt; so that it is not misinterpreted as the start of an element name.
May Occur Within:
Identifies all of the parent elements within which the described element may appear, listed in alphabetical order by tag name. This information conveys information about where and how often an element is available throughout the schema. The definitions for parent elements may provide additional information about an element's usage.
Attributes:
Identifies all attributes that can be associated with an element. Attributes are represented in lowercase letters in XML coding. The Tag Library uses the convention of preceding an attribute name with an @ symbol (e.g., @identifier), following XPath syntax. See the EAD Attributes section of the tag library for definitions and additional information.
Description and Usage:
This section begins with one or more paragraphs that provide a more thorough description of the element than that found in the Summary, which may be followed by guidance on use. The terms "parent" and "child" are used to indicate hierarchical relationships between elements. Standard terminology is also used to suggest the kind of element being discussed. "Wrapper element" indicates an element that cannot contain text directly; a second, nested element must be opened first. Wrapper elements designate sets of elements that comprise a distinctive section of a finding aid, for example, the Descriptive Identification <did>. "Generic element" refers to elements common to many kinds of documents that contain information not specifically related to archival description, e.g., <name> and <num>. "Formatting element" indicates elements that can be used to invoke special text presentation, such as block quotes, chronologies, and emphasis. When the schema enforces a specific sequence of child elements, that sequence is indicated.If useful, context-specific guidance for the usage of an element’s attributes is given in an "Attribute usage" section. A "See also" section may be provided to indicate additional elements that are similar, easily confused, or otherwise related to the element being described.
Availability:
Indicates, within the context of its parent(s), whether the element is required or optional, and whether or not it is repeatable.
References:
Identifies corresponding elements in other standards, schemas, and markup languages: ISAD(G), MARC, MODS, and HTML. Full crosswalks for ISAD(G), MARC21, and MODS are found in Appendix A.
Examples:
Most element descriptions include a tagged example to indicate how attributes and elements can be used together. Many of the examples are taken from real finding aids; others have been specially constructed for the Tag Library. The examples illustrate any required sequences of elements, as in the case of children within <control>, or required attributes such as @level in <archdesc>. In other cases, the examples simply show what is possible. Some examples have ellipses, either between or within elements, indicating that other elements or text have been omitted. Some elements have multiple examples—one may show very dense markup with numerous attributes while another may illustrate a minimalist approach to the markup. Either approach is valid in EAD, and it is up to the repository to determine the optimal level of markup based on their specific purposes, functional requirements, resources, or consortial guidelines.
Attributes
Introduction  [toc]
Attributes are associated with most of the elements contained in EAD. Attributes reflect named properties of an element and may take on different values, depending on the context in which they occur. In order to set one or more attributes, an encoder should include the name of the attribute(s) within the same angle brackets as the start tag, together with the value(s) to which the attribute(s) is/are to be set. That is,<[tag] [attribute]="[value]"> or<[tag] [attribute1]="[value1]" [attribute2]="[value2]">
For example:
<unitdate unitdatetype="inclusive">1937-1992</unitdate>

or
<unitdate unitdatetype="inclusive" normal="1937/1992">1937-1992 </unitdate>

Most attributes are optional, though some are required. The attribute description indicates whether an attribute is required. This information is also available in the Attributes section of each element description.
The value of attributes may be constrained by the schema using specific attribute type values. For example, id attribute is of type ID, which constrains its value to a string beginning with an alphabetic character. An id value must be unique within the EAD instance within which it occurs, that is, no other tag in the entire document can have the same id value. EAD attributes have the following data types (capitalization of data types follows the documentation found in the W3C Recommendation XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/):
anyURI:
A Uniform Resource Identifier. This may be a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) or a Uniform Resource Name (URN). Both relative and absolute URIs are allowed.
ENTITY:
The name of a nonparsed entity that has been declared in the declaration subset of the document. For example, entityref must contain the name of an entity that has been declared in the declaration subset. Processing software can use the reference to the nonparsed entity to display the entity in the body of the text or in a new window.
ID:
Unique identifier. For example, most elements have an id, so that a unique code can be established for and used to refer to that specific element. The content of the id is of the type called "ID". Parsers verify that the value of attributes of type "ID" are unique. The values of id must begin with an alpha, not numeric, character, either upper or lowercase, and may contain a . (period), : (colon), - (hyphen), or _ (underscore), but not a blank space. See also attributes of type "IDREF."
IDREF:
ID reference value; must match an existing ID of another element in the document. For example, the <ptr> element has a target attribute that can only be an "IDREF," which means it has to reference a valid ID in another element.
IDREFS:
List of ID reference values.
NMTOKEN:
A name token, which can consist of any alpha or numeric character, as well as a . (period), : (colon), - (hyphen), or _ (underscore), but not a blank space. A number of attributes in EAD where a character string from a code list is to be used are of the type "NMTOKEN".
string:
The most general data type, a string can contain any sequence of characters allowed in XML. Certain characters may have to be represented with an entity reference, for example &lt; for <, and &amp; for &.
token:
A type of string that may not contain carriage return, line feed or tab characters, leading or trailing spaces, and any internal sequence of two or more spaces.
The attribute value definitions in the DTD versions of EAD3 differ slightly from those of the Relax NG and W3C Schema versions. The DTD has a limited set of attribute types so the anyURI, token, and string data types were converted to "CDATA" (i.e. Character Data).
When the EAD schema limits attribute values to a few choices, those values are declared in the schema in what is known as a "closed list." For example, the values of audience are limited to either "external" or "internal." Other attributes are associated with semi-closed lists. Such lists include those values believed to be the most useful in many contexts, but other values are allowed. For example, <dsc> defines several values for dsctype, including "otherdsctype" which may be used with otherdsctype to specify values that are not in the semi-closed list for dsctype. The definitions for some values in the closed and semi-closed lists appear below.
The following is a complete list of all the attributes that occur in EAD, and some discussion of how they may be used. Further, context-specific information about the use of certain attributes may be found in the "Attribute usage" section of the element descriptions.

@audience
 Audience  [toc]
Summary:
An attribute that helps control whether the information contained in the element should be available to all viewers or only to repository staff. Available for all elements except <lb> and <colspec>. The attribute can be set to "external" in <archdesc> to allow access to all the information about the materials being described in the finding aid, but specific elements within <archdesc> can be set to "internal" to reserve that information for repository access only. This feature is intended to assist application software in restricting access to particular information by explicitly identifying data that is potentially sensitive or may otherwise have a limited audience. Special software capability may be needed, however, to prevent the display or export of an element marked "internal" when a whole finding aid is displayed in a networked environment.
Values:
external, internal
Example:
<titlestmt>
<titleproper localtype="formal"> Guide to the Abraham Hayward Collection </titleproper>

<titleproper localtype="filing" render="altrender" altrender="nodisplay" audience="internal"> Hayward (Abraham) Collection </titleproper>

<p>The records of the Mid-Ocean Dynamics Experiment came to the Institute Archives in two accessions in 1980 and 1982. During processing the collection was reduced from fifteen cubic feet to four by discarding duplicate materials, financial records, and publications not authored by MODE participants. Forty charts and six inches of raw data presented the primary appraisal issues. The raw data consisted of bulletins and reports referring to float positions, moorings, isotherms, geostrophic velocity calculations, ships' summaries, and work proposed and work carried out during the MODE-I experiment. As this raw data was recapitulated in weekly
<title render="underline">
<part>MODE Hot Line Bulletins</part>

</title>

, only a sampling was retained in the collection. Also discarded were ten charts for which there were no descriptions of indicated data points, nor were dates or test site locations provided.</p>

<p>Six inches of materials pertaining to the POLYMODE project, 1973-1980, were added to the Institute Archives POLYMODE collection.</p>

<p>The appraisal of this collection was carried out in consultation with Robert Heinmiller, a research associate at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution during MODE.</p>

Attribute usage:
The required @level identifies the type of aggregation being described in the EAD instance: class, collection, file, fonds, item, otherlevel, recordgrp, series, subfonds, subgrp, or subseries. If "otherlevel" is used as a value for @level, the @otherlevel should be used to provide an alternative term.

May contain:
May occur within:
Description and Usage:
An element for binding together the bulk of an EAD document instance, which typically should include elements describing the content, context, and extent of a body of archival materials, as well as containing administrative and supplemental information that facilitates use of the materials. The elements are organized in hierarchical levels that provide a descriptive overview of the whole, optionally followed by more specific description of the component parts. Descriptive information is inherited downward, from one hierarchical level to the next.
The first child of <archdesc> must be the required <did> that provides core information about the overall unit being described in the finding aid. This may be followed by a variety of notes and controlled access elements that describe or provide administrative information about the whole of the materials being described. <archdesc> may also include information about subordinate units, which are bound together within <dsc> containing one or more levels of subordinate components. Data elements available in <archdesc> are repeatable in components (<c> or <c01>-<c12>) within <dsc>.

<p id="PRO123">In October 1964 the incoming Labour government created new office of Secretary of State for Economic Affairs (combined with First Secretary of State) and set up the Department of Economic Affairs under the Ministers of the Crown Act 1964 to carry primary responsibility for long term economic planning.</p>

<p>Under the Act the posts of Economic Secretary to the Treasury and Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development were abolished.</p>

<p>George Brown was appointed as First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs, and as chairman of the National Economic Development Council (NEDC).</p>

<p>Composition of DEA: most of Treasury's National Economy Group (excluding the short term forecasting team); economic planning staff from the National Economic Development Office (NEDO); the regional policy divisions from the Board of Trade; a team of industrial experts.</p>

<p>DEA charged with duty of formulating, with both sides of industry, a National Plan (published in September 1965), co-ordinating the work of other departments in implementing policies of economic growth, particularly in the fields of industry, the regions, and prices and incomes.</p>

<blockquote>
Block Quote  [toc]
Summary:
A generic formatting element that designates an extended quotation.
See also:
Use <quote> to identify inline quotes within a block of text.

May contain:
Description and Usage:
An extended quotation or other lengthy text to be set off from the main text by spacing or other typographic distinction, for example, by adding additional line spaces above and below the block quote and by indenting the left margin of the block quote.
<blockquote> is equivalent to the element <blockquote> in HTML.

<p>As the size of the Yale faculty increased, Brewster's new admissions policies caused the make up of the undergraduate body to shift. By the early 1960s, most undergraduates had prepared at private schools, and many were sons of Yale alumni. As with the faculty, Brewster felt that Yale was consistently overlooking some of the best intellectual student talent necessary to maintain the highest levels of academic excellence. In a 1965 speech to alumni, Brewster summarized his administration's revised recruitment policy by stating that Yale would only seek students</p>

<blockquote>
<p>...whose capacity for intellectual achievement is outstanding and who also have the motivation to put their intellectual capacities to creatively influential use, in thought, in art, in science, or in the exercise of public or private or professional responsibility.</p>

<c>
Component (unnumbered)  [toc]
Summary:
An element that designates a subordinate part of the materials being described.
Attribute usage:
Use @base to specify a base URI other than the URI of the EAD instance for the purpose of resolving any relative URIs contained within <c>.

Use @encodinganalog to indicate corresponding data elements categories in another data format, such as MARC.

Use @level to identify the logical type of the component, using one of these values: class, collection, file, fonds, item, otherlevel, recordgrp, series, subfonds, subgrp, subseries. Assigning @level for the highest <c> is recommended; thereafter the attribute may be used when the repository deems it useful, or when encoding protocols dictate its use.

Use @otherlevel to specify the level of a component for which the @level has been set to "otherlevel."

May contain:
Description and Usage:
As a wrapper for a set of elements, <c> provides information about the content, context, and extent of a subordinate body of materials. It is always a child or descendant of <dsc> and often a child and/or parent of another <c>. Each <c> identifies a logical section, or level, of the described materials. The physical filing separations between components need not always coincide with the intellectual separations. For example, a <c> that designates dramatic works might end in the same box in which the next <c> begins with short stories. Also, not every <c> directly corresponds to a folder or other physical entity. Some <c> elements simply represent a logical point in a hierarchical description.
Components may be subdivided into smaller and smaller components and may eventually reach the level of a single item. For example, the components of a collection may be a series, components of series may be subseries, components of subseries may be files, and components of files may be items. A component may be either an unnumbered <c> or a numbered <c01>, <c02>, etc. Numbered and un-numbered components cannot be mixed in an EAD instance, and only up to twelve numbered <c>s, (<c01>-<c12>) may be used in an EAD instance. Numbering components may assist a finding aid encoder in accurately nesting components.

<container>
Container  [toc]
Summary:
A child element of <did> for indicating the container in which the material being described is housed, e.g., box, folder.
Attribute usage:
Use @parent to indicate the container in which the current container is housed, e.g., a box in which a folder is housed.

See also:
Use <physloc> to designate the shelves, stacks, rooms, buildings, or other places where the containers are stored.

Use <unitid> to designate control numbers not associated with a physical container, for example, accession numbers.

May contain:
[text], abbr, emph, expan, foreign, lb, ptr, ref
May occur within:
Description and Usage:
<container> contributes to locating the described materials by indicating the kinds of containers that physically hold the materials and identifying any sequential numbers assigned to those containers. <container> is used most frequently at the component level. This storage information can help researchers understand how extensive the described material is, especially in the absence of a specific <physdescstructured> or <physdesc> statement at the component level.
Consistency in the use of <container> and its attributes is essential to enabling a style sheet to properly display the information, which often consists of a tabular listing of archival materials and their associated boxes, folders, etc. For example, <container localtype="Box"> is not necessarily the same as <container localtype="box"> to a style sheet. Also keep in mind that a style sheet may automatically display column headings based on the localtype value. It is important to establish one method of expressing values in localtype and be consistent within and across your institution's finding aids.

<control>
Control  [toc]
Summary:
A required child element of <ead> for recording bibliographic and administrative information about an EAD instance.
Attribute usage:
Use @base to specify a URI (other than the base URI of the EAD instance) to be used for resolving relative URIs within <control> or descendant elements.

Use @countryencoding to identify the authoritative source for values supplied in @countrycode. This attribute may be set to "iso3166-1" or "othercountryencoding." If the value "othercountryencoding" is selected, further information regarding the country codes used in the instance should be supplied in <conventiondeclaration>.

Use @dateencoding to identify the rules for values provided in @normal, @standarddate, @notbefore, and @notafter in date elements. This attribute may be set to "iso8601" or "otherdateencoding." If the value "otherdateencoding" is selected, further information regarding the rules for normalized date values used in the instance should be supplied in <conventiondeclaration>.

Use @langencoding to identify the authoritative source for values supplied in @lang and @langcode. This attribute may be set to "iso639-1," "iso639-2b," "iso639-3," or "otherlangencoding." Previous versions of EAD prescribed the use of ISO 639-2b, so "iso639-2b" may be the most commonly used value. If the value "otherlangencoding" is selected, further information regarding the language codes used in the instance should be supplied in <conventiondeclaration>.

May contain:
May occur within:
Description and Usage:
Use <control> to record any bibliographic information about an EAD instance and administrative information necessary to manage it. <control> can include information about the identity, creation, maintenance, rights, and status of the instance as well as about the languages, rules, and authorities used in the composition of the description.
<control> must contain the following information about the EAD instance:
A unique identifier within <recordid>. (Other associated identifiers may be given in <otherrecordid>.)



Bibliographic information in <filedesc>, with at least a <titleproper> within <titlestmt>.



A description of the agency responsible for creation and maintenance in <maintenanceagency>.



Statements about current version status in <maintenancestatus>.



Information related to creation, maintenance, and disposition in <maintenancehistory>.



Additional, optional child elements include four elements to declare languages, rules, and conventions used in and by the EAD instance. <languagedeclaration> may be used to provide information on the language(s) and script(s) used in the description. <conventiondeclaration> provides information on the standards, authorities, or controlled vocabularies used in the instance. <localtypedeclaration> declares the local conventions and controlled vocabularies used in localtype. <rightsdeclaration> may be used to declare the rights associated with the description itself.
The prescribed order of all child elements (both required and optional) is:
<recordid>



<otherrecordid>



<representation>



<filedesc>



<maintenancestatus>



<publicationstatus>



<maintenanceagency>



<languagedeclaration>



<conventiondeclaration>



<rightsdeclaration>



<localtypedeclaration>



<localcontrol>



<maintenancehistory>



<sources>



Many of these elements are repeatable, allowing the recording of multiple languages and conventions, for example.

See also:
<relations> contains one or more <relation> elements that identify an external entity or concept, and describe the nature of the relationship of the described materials to that entity or concept.

May contain:
May occur within:
Description and Usage:
Use <controlaccess> to bundle in a single group access points — names, topics, places, functions, occupations, titles, and genre terms — that represent the contexts and contents of the materials described. Although <controlaccess> is often used within <archdesc> to provide significant access terms for the entirety of the materials described, it may be used at the component level to provide terms specific to a component if so desired.
<controlaccess> helps to enable authority-controlled searching across finding aids, particularly when its children contain terms drawn from nationally or internationally controlled vocabularies such as the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) or the UK Archival Thesaurus (UKAT) for topics, the Virtual International Authority File (VIAF) for names, or GeoNames for places.

<conventiondeclaration>
Convention Declaration  [toc]
Summary:
An optional child element of <control>, used to bind together <citation> with optional <abbr> and <descriptivenote> elements that identify rules or conventions applied in compiling the description.
See also:
Use <localtypedeclaration> to identify local values used in @localtype attributes.

May contain:
May occur within:
Description and Usage:
A statement about any rules or conventions used in constructing the description. Examples include content standards, controlled vocabularies, or thesauri.
You may use <conventiondeclaration> to:
identify any rules used to formulate the content of controlled access terms and referenced in @rules.



identify any controlled vocabularies used to populate controlled access terms and referenced in @source.



identify any related encoding schemes referenced in @relatedencoding.



specify standards used to formulate data elements or provide codes.



<conventiondeclaration> should always be included when @langencoding, @scriptencoding, @dateencoding, @countryencoding, or @repositoryencoding are set to the "other" value.



Each additional rule or set of rules, controlled vocabulary, or standard should be contained in a separate <conventiondeclaration>.
It may not be necessary to include <conventiondeclaration> in such cases where the above scenarios are addressed in local or consortial documentation.
<abbr> may be used to identify the standard or controlled vocabulary in a coded structure. The content of <abbr> should be the same value given to rules, source, or relatedencoding when referencing a given convention. Any notes relating to how these rules or conventions have been used may be given within <descriptivenote>.
The prescribed order of all child elements (both required and optional) is:
<abbr>

<corpname>
Corporate Name  [toc]
Summary:
An element for identifying the name of an organization or group of people.
Attribute usage:
Use @encodinganalog to indicate corresponding data elements in another data format, such as MARC.

Use @identifier to provide a number, code, or string (e.g., URI) that uniquely identifies the corporate body in a controlled vocabulary, taxonomy, ontology, or other knowledge organization system. Do not confuse with @id, which provides a unique id for the element within the XML instance.

Use @localtype, if local use requires specification of the type of corporate name.

Use @normal to identify a standardized form of the corporate name if not provided in the element itself.

Use @relator to specify, either as a URI or a string, other relationship(s) the corporate name has to the described materials, for example, "compiler," "creator," "collector," or "subject." The schema does not limit possible values of @relator, but an institution could define and enforce values elsewhere if desired.

May contain:
May occur within:
Description and Usage:
Identifies the name of an organization or group of people that act as an organizational entity. Examples include names of associations, institutions, business firms, nonprofit enterprises, governments, government agencies, projects, programs, religious bodies, churches, conferences, athletic contests, exhibitions, expeditions, fairs, and ships.
<corpname> must contain one or more <part> elements. A single <part> may be used for the entire string, or if more granularity is desired, multiple <part> elements may be used to capture each component of the corporate name, e.g.,
Part 1: Yale University
Part 2: Dept. of Astronomy
Use <corpname> within <controlaccess> for encoding corporate names as defined by controlled vocabularies or according to appropriate rules. You may also use <corpname> for encoding corporate names as they appear within text.

<date>
Date  [toc]
Summary:
An element used to express a date.
Attribute usage:
A standard numeric form of the date (YYYY-MM-DD) can be expressed with @normal to facilitate machine processing of dates, for example, 1948-01-01/1998-04-01 (YYYY-MM-DD/YYYY-MM-DD), or 1948/1998 (YYYY/YYYY).

Use @localtype to supply a more specific designation, for example, "life," "flourish," "depiction," "publication," or "acquisition."

Use @certainty to indicate the degree of precision in the dating, for example, "circa," "approximately," or "after."

Use @calendar to indicate the calendar from which the date stems, e.g., "gregorian".

Use @era to indicate the era in which the date occurred, e.g., "ce" for Common Era.

Use @normal to capture a standardized expression of the date or dates to facilitate machine processing.

See also:
Do not confuse with <unitdate> and <unitdatestructured>, which provide the date of creation and other relevant dates of the described materials.

Do not confuse with <daterange>, <dateset>, and <datesingle>, which are used to record dates in the creation (within <unitdatestructured>), contextual history (within <chronlist>), local control of the described materials (within <localcontrol>), or their relationships to other entities (within <relations>).

Do not confuse with <eventdatetime>, which is used for the date and time of a maintenance event in the history of the EAD instance.

May contain:
[text], abbr, emph, expan, foreign, lb, ptr, ref
May occur within:
Description and Usage:
Use <date> to highlight any dates that merit encoding and are not more appropriately encoded in other, more specific date-related elements, e.g., <unitdate> or <unitdatestructured>.

<daterange>
Date Range  [toc]
Summary:
A wrapper element for binding together <fromdate> and <todate> in order to represent a range of dates.
Attribute usage:
Use @localtype to supply a more specific characterization of the date range.

See also:
If an event or relationship has a single date, use <datesingle>.

Record a complex date (for example, one that includes single dates and date ranges) in <dateset>.

For the date and time of a maintenance event in the history of the EAD instance, use <eventdatetime>.

May contain:
May occur within:
Description and Usage:
Use <daterange> to express a range of dates in the creation, contextual history, or local control of the described materials, or their relationships to other entities such as persons, families, corporate bodies, resources, functions, events, places, and topics. <daterange> contains <fromdate> and/or <todate>, and therefore may express a range of dates as a starting point with no end point, a start and end point, or an end point with no starting point. The content of the children of <daterange> is intended to be a human-readable, natural language expression of the date. If, however, indexing or other machine processing of dates is desired, standarddate should be used on the children of <daterange> to record the date in machine-processable form as well.

Descriptive Identification  [toc]
Summary:
A wrapper element that encloses information essential for identifying the material being described.
May contain:
May occur within:
Description and Usage:
<did> binds together other elements that provide core information needed for identifying the described materials. <did> occurs in <archdesc> and <c>, <c01> - <c12>. The various <did> child elements are intended for brief, clearly designated statements of information, whereas following sibling elements of <did> such as <custodhist>, <arrangement>, or <scopecontent> allow for more detailed, narrative description.
<did> groups elements that constitute a good basic description of an archival unit. This grouping ensures that the same data elements and structure are available at every level of description within the EAD hierarchy. It facilitates the retrieval or output of a coherent body of elements for resource discovery and recognition.
The <did> in <archdesc> is sometimes called the high-level <did>, because it covers the entirety of the materials described by the EAD instance. Consider using the following child elements in the high-level <did>: <origination>, <unittitle>, <unitdate> or <unitdatestructured>, <physdesc> or <physdescstructured>, <repository>, and <abstract>. <unitid> and <physloc> are suggested if applicable to a repository's practice. <did> within components can have fewer elements, and might have only <container> or <unitid> and <unittitle>.

Dimensions  [toc]
Summary:
A child element of <physdescstructured> that provides information about the size of the material being described.
Attribute usage:
If the kind of measurement is not clear in the text, @unit may be used to specify this information, for example, "inches" or "centimeters."

If desired, @localtype may be used to capture the kind of dimensions being measured, such as "height" or "circumference."

May contain:

<dsc>
Description of Subordinate Components  [toc]
Summary:
A wrapper element that bundles information about the hierarchical groupings of the materials being described.
May contain:
May occur within:
Description and Usage:
Use <dsc> to wrap subordinate components in the archival hierarchy of the materials being described. Although <dsc> may repeat, it is recommended to include only a single <dsc> element. Because it is a wrapper element and not an essential part of archival description, <dsc> may be deprecated in future versions of EAD. Avoiding multiple <dsc> elements within an EAD instance will make future migrations simpler.
The subordinate components can be presented in several different forms or levels of descriptive detail, which are identified by the element's optional dsctype. For example, "combined" is used when the narrative description of a series is followed immediately by a listing of the contents of that series within a single <dsc>. The dsctype value "analyticover" identifies an overview description of series and subseries, which might be followed by a second <dsc> with the dsctype set to "in-depth" that provides a more detailed listing of the content of the materials, including information about the container numbers associated with those materials. The dsctype "otherdsctype" is for models that do not follow any of the above-mentioned formats, in which case otherdsctype can then be used to specify a particular presentation model.
If <dsc> contains children other than <thead> or component elements (<c>, <cXX>), those elements must come first, followed by the optional <thead>, then <c> or <c01>.

<famname>
Family Name  [toc]
Summary:
An element for identifying the name of a group of people with blood relations, or persons who form a household.
Attribute usage:
Use @encodinganalog to indicate corresponding data elements in another data format, such as MARC.

Use @identifier to provide a number, code, or string (e.g., URI) that uniquely identifies the family in a controlled vocabulary, taxonomy, ontology, or other knowledge organization system. Do not confuse with @id, which provides a unique id for the element within the XML instance.

Use @localtype, if local practice requires specification of the type of family name.

Use @normal to identify a standardized form of the family name if not provided in the element itself.

Use @relator to specify, either as a URI or a string, other relationship(s) the family name has to the described materials, for example, "compiler," "creator," "collector," or "subject." The schema does not limit possible values of @relator, but an institution could define and enforce values elsewhere if desired.

May contain:
May occur within:
Description and Usage:
An element for identifying the name of a group of persons closely related by blood or persons who form a household, and are related to the materials being described. Includes single families and family groups, e.g., Patience Parker Family and Parker Family.
<famname> must contain one or more <part> elements. A single <part> may be used for the entire string, or if more granularity is desired, multiple <part> elements may be used to capture each component of the family name, e.g.,
Part 1: Butts family
Part 2: 1810
Part 3: Long Beach, CA
Use <famname> within <controlaccess> for encoding family names as defined by controlled vocabularies or according to appropriate rules. You may also use <famname> for encoding family names as they appear within text.

<p>Names of photographers and studios--and the cities and states in which they operated--are usually noted as they appear on the photographs (usually stamped or written on the versos). Corporate names appear in direct order; personal names in inverted order (i.e., filed by surname). Rectos and versos of photographs were microfilmed to capture information exactly as it appears on the photographs. To locate a specific photographer/studio, a user should consider all possible forms of entry (corporate and personal), browse the index under these forms, identify which LOT(s) contain photographs by that photographer/studio, then browse the relevant LOT on the microfilm to locate specific photographs that bear the markings of the specific photographer/studio.</p>

<maintenancestatus>
Maintenance Status  [toc]
Summary:
A required child element of <control> that records the current version status of the EAD instance.
Attribute usage:
Upon creation, record the status as "new."

On revision, change the status to "revised."

Because it is important to be clear about what has happened to instances, particularly when sharing and making links between them, a number of status values are available for records that are no longer current:

A "derived" status value is available to indicate that the record was derived from another descriptive system.

May contain:
[text]
May occur within:
Description and Usage:
Use <maintenancestatus> to indicate the current drafting status of an EAD instance. The current version status should always be updated whenever an EAD instance is modified (as recorded in <maintenancehistory>).
The current maintenance status must always be reflected in the required value. The element should only have a text value if it is necessary to provide a value for <maintenancestatus> in a language other than English, otherwise it should remain empty.

<materialspec>
Material Specific Details  [toc]
Summary:
A child elementof <did> for providing material specific details for a small group of materials or an item.
Attribute usage:
Use @localtype to specify the type of data being conveyed in the element, e.g., <materialspec localtype="scale">1:200</materialspec>.

May contain:
[text], abbr, emph, expan, foreign, lb, ptr, ref
May occur within:
Description and Usage:
<materialspec> is for recording material specific details that are unique to a particular class or form of material and which are not recorded in any other element of description. Examples of material specific details include mathematical data, such as scale for cartographic and architectural records, jurisdictional and denominational data for philatelic records, and presentation data that describes the format of music manuscripts.
Most likely <materialspec> will be useful at the item or small group level of description, such as a file of maps, a group of sound recordings, etc.

<name>
Generic Name  [toc]
Summary:
An element for encoding generic names.
Attribute usage:
Use @encodinganalog to indicate corresponding data elements in another data format, such as MARC.

Use @identifier to provide a number, code, or string (e.g., URI) that uniquely identifies the name in a controlled vocabulary, taxonomy, ontology, or other knowledge organization system. Do not confuse with @id, which provides a unique id for the element within the XML instance.

Use @localtype, if local practice requires specification of the type of name.

Use @normal to identify a standardized form of the name if not provided in the element itself.

Use @relator to specify, either as a URI or a string, other relationship(s) the name has to the described materials, for example "subject" or "photographer." The schema does not limit possible values of @relator, but an institution could define and enforce values elsewhere if desired.

May contain:
May occur within:
Description and Usage:
The proper noun or noun phrase designation for an entity that is difficult to tag more specifically as <corpname>, <famname>, <geogname>, or <persname>. <name> may be used in place of the more specific access elements when it is not known what kind of name is being described or when a higher degree of precision is unnecessary. For example, <name> might be used in an <indexentry> when it is not clear if the name "Bachrach" refers to a person or a photographic corporation.
<name> must contain one or more <part> elements. A single <part> may be used for the entire string, or if more granularity is desired, multiple <part> elements may be used to capture each component of the name.

[any element from any namespace other than EAD]
May occur within:
Description and Usage:
A wrapper element that provides a means for incorporating an XML element from any XML encoding language other than EAD3. While not required, to facilitate interoperability the XML included in <objectxmlwrap> should conform to an open, standard XML schema. An xmlns attribute referencing the namespace URI of the standard should be present, possibly on the <ead> root element or at the root of the contained foreign element. <objectxmlwrap> may be used to store related XML data locally rather than linking to external resources in order to facilitate processing or in cases where the related data may not be reliably accessible.

<occupation>
Occupation  [toc]
Summary:
An element for specifying a profession.
Attribute usage:
Use @encodinganalog to indicate corresponding data elements in another data format, such as MARC.

Use @identifier to provide a number, code, or string (e.g., URI) that uniquely identifies the occupation in a controlled vocabulary, taxonomy, ontology, or other knowledge organization system. Do not confuse with @id, which provides a unique id for the element within the XML instance.

Use @localtype, if local practice requires specification of the type of occupation.

Use @normal to identify a standardized form of the occupation if not provided in the element itself.

Use @relator to specify, either as a URI or a string, other relationship(s) the occupation has to the described materials. The schema does not limit possible values of @relator, but an institution could define and enforce values elsewhere if desired.

See also:
Do not confuse <occupation> with @relator, which is used to indicate a certain relationship between a name and the materials being described.

Do not confuse <occupation> with <function>, which names activities and processes, but not professions.

May contain:
May occur within:
Description and Usage:
A type of work, profession, trade, business, or avocation significantly reflected in the materials being described.
<occupation> must contain one or more <part> elements. A single <part> may be used for the entire string, or if more granularity is desired, multiple <part> elements may be used to capture each component of the occupation term, e.g.,
Part 1:Public officers
Part 2:Maryland
Use <occupation> within <controlaccess> for encoding occupations as defined by controlled vocabularies or according to appropriate rules. You may also use <occupation> for encoding occupations as they appear within text.

<odd>
Other Descriptive Data  [toc]
Summary:
For recording additional information about the described materials that is not easily incorporated into one of the other named elements within <archdesc> and <c>.
Attribute usage:
Use @localtype to more specifically designate the type of information being provided.

May contain:
May occur within:
Description and Usage:
<odd> may be useful in converting legacy finding aids to the EAD format, by designating as "other" information that does not easily map to a more specific element. <odd> may be used when information about the described materials does not correspond to another element’s definition, when the information is heterogeneous enough to make a single classification difficult, and when shifting the information to permit more specific content designation would be too costly or burdensome.
Use <odd> only after considering how the existence of unspecified content will affect search, retrieval, and display.
