EAD Finding Aids This schematron tests IU Center for the Study of History and Memory (CSHM) EAD files, with locally-developed rules that are largely based on the RLG's Best Practice Guide for EAD. This pattern tests elements in the EAD root element. The root ead element must have the attributes specified in the template, in order to validate against the W3C XML Schema instead of the older DTD. This pattern tests elements in the EAD header. The eadheader dateencoding attribute must be set to "iso8601". The eadheader must have a findaidstatus attribute. The eadheader relatedencoding attribute must be set to "dublincore". The eadheader audience attribute must be set to "external". The eadheader langencoding attribute must be set to "iso639-2b".

The value in the eadid element must match the value in the eadid identifier attribute. The titlestmt element must contain a titleproper element. If the finding aid has a subtitle, it should be encoded in a subtitle element. When applicable, the titlestmt element should contain a date nested within either the titleproper or subtitle elements. The titlestmt element must contain an author element. The titleproper encodinganalog attribute must be set to "title".

The origination/corpname element must have the value "Indiana University Center for the Study of History and Memory" The unittitle element must have an encodinganalog attribute with the value "245$a" The unittitle element must have a label attribute with the value "Title". The unitdate element must have an encodinganalog attribute that starts with the value "245" The unitdate element must have a normal attribute. The unitdate element must have a type attribute. Unitdates that are not single dates should have a type attribute with the appropriate value.

At least one language subelement must appear within langmaterial. The language element must have a @langcode attribute. The abstract element must have an encodinganalog attribute that starts with "520" The abstract element must have a label attribute with the value "Abstract". The scopecontent element must have an encodinganalog attribute that starts with "520" The scopecontent element must include a head element. The arrangement element must have an encodinganalog attribute that starts with "351" The arrangement element must include a <head> element. The arrangement/head should not contain a colon (:). The scopecontent/head should not contain a colon (:). The relatedmaterial element must have an encodinganalog attribute with the value "544 1" The relatedmaterial element must contain a head element. The relatedmaterial/head should not contain a colon (:). The descgrp element must include a <head>Administrative Information</head> The acqinfo element is optional. Use it if this feature is applicable to the collection. The userestrict element is required, even if the collection is unrestricted.

The acqinfo element must have an encodinganalog attribute with the value "541" The acqinfo element must include a head element. The userrestrict element must have an encodinganalog attribute with the value "540" The userestrict element must include a head element. The prefercite element must have an encodinganalog attribute that starts with "524" The prefercite element must include a head element. The label attribute on the container element is displayed together with the contents of the container element. Most containers will need a label attribute. All <c01> elements must contain a level attribute. A unittitle is required in <c01>. If the unittitle contains a date, the unitdate attribute should be nested inside the unittitle. The unitdate element must have a normal attribute. Unitdates that are not single dates should have a type attribute with the appropriate value. All <c02> elements must contain a level attribute.

All <c12> elements must contain a level attribute. error.gif warning.gif tip.gif The value "iso8601" in the dateencoding attribute indicates the format of all normalized dates in the EAD document. The TYPE attribute can be used to categorize the finding aid as an inventory, register, or other format. The origination element should appear, with a persname, corpname, famname, or generic name, if there is an "individual or organization responsible for the creation, accumulation, or assembly of the described materials before their incorporation into an archival repository." See the IU EAD template for the EAD elements that should appear within descgrp, and which should appear directly in archdesc. Allowed level attribute values are class, collection, file, fonds, item, otherlevel, recordgrp, series, subfonds, subgrp, subseries.
