RSLP Collection Description

ISAD(G)/EAD to RSLP CLD Schema/Application Profile Mapping

[UKOLN logo]

Note: This document should be read in conjunction with the earlier note on the relationship between ISAD(G) and the RSLP CLD schema. Further, implementers building transformations based on this mapping may need to adapt it to local EAD encoding and content conventions.

Both ISAD(G) and EAD include

The RSLP CLD schema can be used to describe either a collection or a catalogue. The tables below provide two mappings, firstly for the description of the collection, secondly for the description of the ISAD(G)/EAD catalogue/finding aid.

Note: See also the "conservative" Dublin Core-EAD mappings in Appendix B.3 of EAD 1.0 Application Guidelines

[No correspondence but would it be helpful if this was somehow incorporated within the "enumerated list of collection types" for dct:Collection/dc:type

e.g. allowing "fonds.archive.text" or "subfonds.archive.text" (instead of just "collection.archive.text")?
