Institution Manager manual - Manage your EAD and EAC-CPF files
In order to publish information on archival material gathered from different countries and institutions as consistent as possible, a common EAD profile has been defined, named apeEAD, as well as a common EAC-CPF profile, named apeEAC-CPF. All information relative to these profiles can be found in the Standards section of this Wiki and the profiles themselves can be found over here: http://www.archivesportaleurope.net/Portal/profiles/apeEAD.xsd and here: http://www.archivesportaleurope.net/Portal/profiles/apeEAC-CPF.xsd. Unless already compliant to them, the original local files have thus to be converted to these specific schemas before being published. The portal hosts different types of EAD files: finding aids, holding guides and source guides. There is a hierarchical relation between the holdings guide and the finding aids that is materialised in the search tree of the advanced search page of the portal.
