EAD Finding Aids This schematron tests applications of EAD that have been specialized from the RLG's Best Practice Guide for EAD. This pattern tests elements in the EAD root element.

Allowed level attribute values are class, collection, file, fonds, item, otherlevel, recordgrp, series, subfonds, subgrp, subseries.
