The most important archival standard used by the Archives Portal Europe is Encoded Archival Description (EAD), an XML standard for encoding archival finding aids, maintained by the [https://www2.archivists.org/groups/technical-subcommittee-on-encoded-archival-standards-ts-eas Technical Subcommittee for Encoded Archival Standards (TS-EAS)] of the [https://www2.archivists.org/ Society of American Archivists (SAA)], in partnership with the Library of Congress.

Development of the EAD standard began with a project initiated by the University of California, Berkeley Library in 1993. The requirements for the encoding standard then included – and still include today – the following criteria:
+
 
+
* ability to present extensive and interrelated descriptive information found in archival finding aids,
+
* ability to preserve the hierarchical relationships existing between levels of description,
+
* ability to represent descriptive information that is inherited by one hierarchical level from another,
+
* ability to move within a hierarchical informational structure,
+
* support for element-specific indexing and retrieval.
