Description

This webcast will provide a review of common standards used in archival repositories for encoding descriptive metadata, including a review the guidelines provided in Describing Archives: A Content Standard (DACS) for the formulation of data elements, and the encoding of this information in Encoded Archival Description (EAD), Encoded Archival Context-Corporate Bodies, Persons, and Families (EAC-CPF), MARC21, and BIBFRAME. Participants will consider the impact of standards on the encoding and transformation of archival metadata and its relationship to local implementation decisions.
