3 3 Assumptions and Definitions

4 Assumptions Familiarity with some ICA standards - ISAD (G), ISAAR (CPF), ISDF, or ISDIAH Awareness of EAD, but little of no experience with it Little or no experience with XML 4

5 Definitions EAD: Encoded Archival Description EAC-CPF: Encoded Archival Context Corporate bodies, Persons, and Families XML: Extensible Markup Language 5

6 6 Development History

7 EAD Development History Berkeley Finding Aid Project ( ) EAD Alpha (1996) EAD Beta (1996) EAD 1.0 (1998) EAD 2002 (2002) EAD 2002 Schema (2007) EAD 2013? 7

52 52 EAC-CPF Data Structure

53 EAC-CPF Concepts SINGLE IDENTITY: one person (or corporate body or family) with a single identity represented in one EAC-CPF instance. (Most common.) MULTIPLE IDENTITY-MANY IN ONE: two or more identities (including official identities) with each represented by distinct descriptions within one EAC-CPF instance. Can be programmatically converted into Multiple Identity-One in Many. (Less common though not rare.) MULTIPLE IDENTITY-ONE IN MANY: two or more identities (including official identities) each represented in two or more interrelated EAC-CPF instances. Can be programmatically converted into Multiple Identity-Many in One. (Less common though not rare.) ALTERNATIVE SET: derived EAC-CPF instance that is based on and incorporates two or more alternative EAC-CPF instances for the same entity. To be used by a consortia or a utility providing union access to authority records maintained in two or more systems by two or more agencies. Alternative EAC-CPF instances may be in different languages or in the same language. 53 COLLABORATIVE IDENTITY: a single identity shared by two or more persons (e.g. a shared pseudonym used in creation of a collaborative work). Use Multiple Identity-One in Many. (Rare.)

54 Basic structure <eac-cpf>* <control>* <cpfdescription> <identity> <description> <relations> 54

55 Basic Structure <control>: identity, creation, maintenance, status, rules and authorities, and sources used to generate the EAC-CPF instance. 55 <cpfdescription>: description of the EAC-CPF entity <identity>: names <description>: formal and informal descriptive elements <relations>: relationships to other entities, resources and function descriptions
