The Archives Portal Europe's Dashboard offers some extra - optional - functionalities next to the ones that are necessary for the common workflow, these are:

  • Create EAC-CPF files
  • Map files to topics
  • Partially edit finding aids
  • Create holding guides and source guides
  • Convert data to EDM records and deliver those to Europeana


Create EAC-CPF files

An introduction to Encoded Archival Context - Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families (EAC-CPF) can be found in the [[ ]] and the schema for the apeEAC-CPF subset is available over here: http://www.archivesportaleurope.net/Portal/profiles/apeEAC-CPF.xsd.

Content providers, who don't have EAC-CPF files or can't export these kind of files from their own systems, can create EAC-CPF files in the Dashboard using a form. The form does not however cover all possible elements of apeEAC-CPF, but allows entering the key information about an entity. The created files are then available in the content manager, like the other files, in the EAC-CPF view of the Content manager screen.

The apeEAC-CPF form is available via de link in the Dashboard:


The form is then displayed using the full width of your screen, first you have to select the type of entity that you want to describe:


Next you can fill in the different tabs adapted to each entity type:
