Related Standards  [toc]
The standards maintained by the Society of American Archivists’ Technical Subcommittee on Encoded Archival Standards (TS-EAS) are XML schemas based on established models developed by the International Council on Archives (ICA).
EAC-CPF is based on the International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families (ISAAR-CPF). Revisions to the EAD and EAC-CPF standards are being undertaken by TS-EAS based on the requirements of the Society of American Archivists’ standards maintenance schedule and policies, and are not tied to ongoing development of standards by the ICA, though keeping close connections to the ICA Experts Group on Archival Description as a related standards body.
For this reason, the EAC-CPF 2.0 continues to be based on ISAAR(CPF) rather than the draft versions of Records in Contexts. We anticipate that future versions of EAC-CPF and other standards maintained by TS-EAS will take the Records in Contexts - Conceptual Model into account once it is finalized and approved.
International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families (ISAAR(CPF))
ISAAR(CPF) is a descriptive standard for descriptions of agent entities (corporate bodies, persons and families) associated with the creation and maintenance of archives. ISAAR(CPF) is maintained by the ICA.
Encoded Archival Description (EAD)
EAD is an XML standard for encoding archival finding aids, maintained by the TS-EAS of the Society of American Archivists, in partnership with the Library of Congress.
Encoded Archival Guide (EAG)
EAG is an XML standard for encoding data about archives and related organizations. EAG is maintained by the Archives Portal Europe Foundation and its Working Group on Standards (WGoS). The development of EAG is coordinated in close cooperation with the TS-EAS, which is responsible for EAD and EAC-CPF.
Encoding Standards
The international community of cultural heritage organizations is working on a broad set of diverse standards to meet the challenges of the digital age. Established standards concerning digitization and metadata are maintained by the Library of Congress.
Records in Contexts - Conceptual Model (RiC-CM)
RiC-CM is a high-level conceptual model that focuses on intellectually identifying and describing records, the people that created and use(d) them, and the activities pursued by the people that the records both facilitate and document. RiC-CM is maintained by the ICA.
Release and Revision Notes  [toc]
This is the release of the Tag Library for EAC-CPF 2.0. This major release includes changes and updates in the schema undertaken by the SAA Technical Subcommittee on Encoded Archival Standards (TS EAS) for the second major revision of the standard EAC-CPF. It supersedes the standard version EAC-CPF 2010 edition 2018.
The release is reflecting comments received by the international community of professionals between 2018 and 2021.
The EAC-CPF Tag Library is a living document. As such, it will continue to be developed as users suggest areas in need of clarification or expansion. The TS-EAS still encourages implementers to provide any queries, comments, and suggestions regarding the tag library and its content. In addition, the contribution of examples is highly encouraged. Questions, comments or examples may be directed to the TS-EAS (ts-eas[at]archivists.org). The underlying encoding of the Tag Library is based on TEI P5 and is designed to facilitate incorporating documentation into the schema to provide guidance in XML editors. While the initial release of the Tag Library is in English, the underlying encoding is designed to facilitate providing the Tag Library in additional languages at later dates.
The latest version of the EAC-CPF schema and tag library was adopted in 2010 and updated in late 2018. This version is called EAC-CPF 2010 edition 2018. The process for a major revision started in 2017, following the 2015 merger of the Technical Subcommittees on EAD and EAC-CPF into the Technical Subcommittee on Encoded Archival Standards (TS-EAS). This major revision aims to modernise the schema in terms of:
- simplifying where possible,



- alignment with EAD where useful,



- implementing features and solutions upon users’ request,



- clearing up unused components.



All elements and attributes in EAC-CPF 2010 were evaluated. Bugs and slight changes were made in a minor update of the Schema in 2018. The present version, EAC-CPF 2.0, is the result of a major overhaul of the standard and a reconciliation with EAD.
Following ISAAR(CPF), the established structure of control area, identity area, description area, and relations is still available, as is the idea of encoding multiple identities in one EAC-CPF instance.
The user communities of EAD and EAC-CPF overlap; therefore, the alignment of both schemas, where possible, shall ease the standards’ maintenance, usage, teaching, and learning. Elements and attributes used in both standards are harmonized by name, description and technical definition.
With the goal of simplifying the schema and aligning it with EAD, some encoding concepts were modified:linking and referencing, formatting, date encoding, language encoding, transliteration, control area, identity area, description area, and relations, cf Revision notes.
Working in parallel with the ICA Experts Group on Archival Description (ICA EGAD), who is working on a 2nd draft of Records in Contexts (RiC) which is being designed as the next comprehensive description standard for archives, EAC-CPF 2.0 tries to include the ideas of RiC-CM where feasible, see also TS EAS statement on related standards.
Widely discussed was the question of spelling since the related standard, EAD, uses lower-case for element and attribute names. For easier reading and teaching it was agreed to keep the camel case spelling for element and attribute names and also for fixed values.
Tag Library Conventions  [toc]
The EAC-CPF Elements section of the Tag Library contains descriptions of 91 elements, arranged alphabetically by element name.
Tag Name:
Short, mnemonic form of the element name that is used in the machine-readable encoded document. The tag name is the first word at the top of the page. Tag names appear between angle brackets, e.g., <nameEntry>, except in the listings under "May occur within" and "May contain," and are always in camel case (camelCase).
Element Name:
Expanded version of the tag name that more fully describes the element's meaning. The full name of the element is usually a word or phrase that identifies the element's purpose. In the Tag Library, the element name follows the tag name on the page defining that element and appears with initial capital letters, e.g., <nameEntry> Name Entry.
Summary:
A brief statement that provides a concise definition of the element, suitable for quick reference.
May Contain:
Identifies what child nodes (text or elements) may occur within the element being defined. Elements are listed in alphabetical order by tag name. Elements may be empty (e.g., an element which allows no child text or element nodes), or they may contain text (listed as [text]), other elements, or a mixture of text and other elements.Text content cannot include characters that would be interpreted by a parser as action codes. For example, a left angle bracket must be represented as the character entity reference &lt; so that it is not misinterpreted as the start of an element name. The technical availability of child elements is listed in brackets beside each element, e.g. place (0..1). The first character represents the minimum occurrences of the child element and the final character represents the maximum occurrences of the child element, with 'n' representing unlimited occurrences.
May Occur Within:
Identifies all the parent elements within which the described element may appear, listed in alphabetical order by tag name. This information conveys information about where and how often an element is available throughout the schema. The definitions for parent elements may provide additional information about an element's usage.
Attributes:
Identifies all attributes that can be associated with an element. Attributes are represented in camelCase letters in XML coding. The Tag Library uses the convention of preceding an attribute name with an @ symbol (e.g., @localType), following XPath syntax. See the EAC-CPF Attributes section of the tag library for definitions and additional information.
Description and Usage:
This section begins with one or more paragraphs that provide a more thorough description of the element than that found in the Summary, which may be followed by guidance on use. The terms "parent" and "child" are used to indicate hierarchical relationships between elements. Standard terminology is also used to suggest the kind of element being discussed. "Wrapper element" indicates an element that cannot contain text directly; a second, nested element must be opened first. When the schema enforces a specific sequence of child elements, that sequence is indicated. If useful, context-specific guidance for the usage of an element's attributes is given in an "Attribute usage" section. A "See also" section may be provided to indicate additional elements that are similar, easily confused, or otherwise related to the element being described.
Availability:
Indicates, within the context of its parent(s), whether the element is required or optional, and whether or not it is repeatable.
Examples:
Element and attribute descriptions include a tagged example to indicate how attributes and elements can be used together. Many of the examples are taken from real authory records; others have been specially constructed for the Tag Library. The examples illustrate any required sequences of elements, as in the case of children within <control>, or required attributes such as @part in <nameEntry>. In other cases, the examples simply show what is possible. Some examples have ellipses, either between or within elements, indicating that other elements or text have been omitted. Some elements have multiple examples: one may show very dense markup with numerous attributes while another may illustrate a minimalist approach to the markup. Either approach is valid in EAC-CPF, and it is up to the instance creator to determine the optimal level of markup based on their specific purposes, functional requirements, resources, or consortial guidelines.
Elements
<abstract>
Abstract  [toc]
Summary:
An optional element within <biogHist> that contains a brief summary of the information contained within the <biogHist> as a whole.
May contain:
[text], reference (0..n), span (0..n)
May occur within:

<p>Hubert H. Humphrey was born in Wallace, South Dakota, on May 27, 1911. He left South Dakota to attend the University of Minnesota but returned to South Dakota to help manage his father's drug store early in the depression. He attended the Capitol College of Pharmacy in Denver, Colorado, and became a register pharmacist in 1933. On September 3, 1936, Humphrey married Muriel Fay Buck. He returned to the University of Minnesota and earned a B.A. degree in 1939. In 1940 he earned an M.A. in political science from Louisiana State University and returned to Minneapolis to teach and pursue further graduate study, he began working for the W.P.A. (Works Progress Administration). He moved on from there to a series of positions with wartime agencies. In 1943, he ran unsuccessfully for Mayor of Minneapolis and returned to teaching as a visiting professor at Macalester College in St. Paul. Between 1943 and 1945 Humphrey worked at a variety of jobs. In 1945, he was elected Mayor of Minneapolis and served until 1948. In 1948, at the Democratic National Convention, he gained national attention when he delivered a stirring speech in favor of a strong civil rights plank in the party's platform. In November of 1948, Humphrey was elected to the United States Senate. He served as the Senate Democratic Whip from 1961 to 1964.</p>

<p>In 1964, at the Democratic National Convention, President Lyndon B. Johnson asked the convention to select Humphrey as the Vice Presidential nominee. The ticket was elected in November in a Democratic landslide. In 1968, Humphrey was the Democratic Party's candidate for President, but he was defeated narrowly by Richard M. Nixon. After the defeat, Humphrey returned to Minnesota to teach at the University of Minnesota and Macalester College. He returned to the U.S. Senate in 1971, and he won re-election in 1976. He died January 13, 1978 of cancer.</p>

<agencyCode>
Agency Code  [toc]
Summary:
A child element of <maintenanceAgency> that provides a code for the institution or service responsible for the creation, maintenance, and/or dissemination of the EAC-CPF instance.
Attribute usage:
Use @status with the value "authorized" or "alternative" to declare whether the <agencyCode> is using an authorized value, e.g. a registered ISIL code, or an alternative one.

See also:
Use <agencyName> to record the name of the agency.

Use <otherAgencyCode> to record any alternative codes representing the agency.

Use <recordId> in combination with <agencyCode> to provide a globally unique identifier for the EAC-CPF instance.

May contain:
[text]
May occur within:
maintenanceAgency
Description and Usage:
Use <agencyCode> to record a code indicating the institution or service responsible for the creation, maintenance and/or dissemination of the EAC-CPF instance. Use of <agencyCode> is recommended, as the combination of <agencyCode> and the required <recordId> provide a globally unique identifier for the instance.
<maintenanceAgency> must include one or both of <agencyCode> and <agencyName>.
It is recommended that the code follows the format of the International Standard Identifier for Libraries and Related Organizations (ISIL: ISO 15511): a prefix, a dash, and an identifier. The code is alphanumeric (characters A-Z, 0-9, solidus, hyphen-minus, and colon) with a maximum of 16 characters. If appropriate to local or national convention, insert a valid ISIL for an institution, whether provided by a national authority (usually the national library) or a service (such as OCLC). If this is not the case then local institution codes may be given with the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code as the prefix to ensure international uniqueness in <agencyCode>.

<alternativeSet>
Alternative Set  [toc]
Summary:
A container for one or more authority records derived from one or more authority systems, expressed within a single EAC-CPF instance.
See also:
<alternativeSet> should not be confused with <sources>, wherein authority records are not intended to be displayed as alternative versions.

May contain:
setComponent (1..n)
May occur within:
cpfDescription
Description and Usage:
<alternativeSet> is a container element for one or more authority records derived from one or more alternative systems. Authority record aggregation may be used in cooperative or consortial contexts that gather together records describing the same CPF entity in different languages, from different rules, or from different contexts, when it is desirable to provide users with alternative descriptions of the same entity. For example in the context of the European Union, an international cooperative project may want to provide users the option of storing descriptions in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, and in other European languages.
Alternative authority records are contained within the required <setComponent> child elements. This approach allows different descriptions of the same CPF entity to be contained within a single EAC-CPF instance.

<biogHist>
Biography or History  [toc]
Summary:
A concise essay and/or chronology that provides biographical or historical information about the EAC-CPF entity.
May contain:
abstract (0..1), chronList (0..n), head (0..1), list (0..n), p (0..n)
May occur within:
description
Description and Usage:
<biogHist> includes significant details about the life of an individual or family, or the administrative history of a corporate body.
The <biogHist> element may contain text in a series of paragraphs (<p>), and/or a chronology list (<chronList>) that matches dates and date ranges with associated events and/or places. The <abstract> element is intended to provide a very brief synopsis of the full <biogHist> content that could be extracted for inclusion in a remote source, such as a MARC record.
The optional <list> element is used to accommodate greater complexity in expressing or representing the biography or history of the CPF entity. A simpler discursive expression of the information may be encoded as one or more <p> elements. The optional <head> element can be used to add a title or caption to the text.
The prescribed order of all child elements (both required and optional) is:
<head>



<abstract>



One or more of <chronList>, <list>, or <p>

<date>
Date  [toc]
Summary:
The single date of an event in the history of the person, family, or corporate body being described, or in their relationship to, e.g., a name entry, a place, an occupation, another CPF entity, a resource, or a function.
Attribute usage:
Use @certainty to indicate the degree of precision in the dating, for example, "uncertain" or "approximate".

Use @localType to supply a more specific characterization of the date.

Use @notAfter and @notBefore to capture the latest and earliest possible dates in machine-processable form in cases when the date is uncertain.

Use @standardDate to provide a machine-processable form of the date.

Use @status with the value "unknown" to indicate where a date is unknown.

May contain:
[text]
May occur within:
chronItem, dateSet, demographicDescription, existDates, function, legalStatus, localControl, localDescription, mandate, occupation, otherEntityType, place, relation, useDates
Description and Usage:
An element for expressing the single date of an event in the history of the person, corporate body or family being described, or in their relationship to, e.g., a name entry, a place, an occupation, another CPF entity, a resource, or a function.
The content of the element is intended to be a human-readable natural language date with a machine-readable date provided as the value of the standardDate attribute, formulated according to ISO 8601. Uncertain or approximate dates can be encoded in standardDate using Extended Date/Time Format (EDTF).
If the event or relationship has inclusive dates use the <dateRange> element, while more complex dates (combining singles dates and date ranges) can be expressed in <dateSet>.
Dates of existence for the entity being described are encoded with the <existDates> element, while the dates of use of a particular name of an entity are encoded in <useDates>. The date and time of a maintenance event in the history of the EAC-CPF instance are given in the <eventDateTime> element.

An element that expresses inclusive dates of an event in the history of, or a relationship with, the person, family, or corporate body being described in the EAC-CPF instance.
<dateRange> contains <fromDate> and/or <toDate>, and therefore may express a range of dates as a starting point with no end point, a start and end point, or an end point with no starting point. Either <fromDate> or <toDate> must be present within a <dateRange>, but it is recommended to use both child elements whenever possible.
The content of the children of <dateRange> is intended to be a human-readable, natural language expression of the dates. If, however, indexing or other machine processing of dates is desired, standardDate should be used on the children of <dateRange> to record the date in machine-processable form as well.
Dates of existence for the identity being described are encoded with the <existDates> element, while the dates of use of a particular name of an identity are encoded in <useDates>. The date and time of a maintenance event in the history of the EAC-CPF instance are given in the <eventDateTime> element.
The prescribed order of all child elements (both required and optional) is:
<fromDate>



<toDate>

<identity>
Identity  [toc]
Summary:
A required child element of <cpfDescription> used to encode the name or names related to the identity being described within the EAC-CPF instance.
May contain:
descriptiveNote (0..1), entityType (1..1), identityId (0..n), nameEntry or nameEntrySet (1..n), otherEntityTypes (0..n)
May occur within:
cpfDescription
Description and Usage:
<identity> is a wrapper element used to group the elements necessary to encode the name or names related to the identity of the CPF entity within the <cpfDescription> element.
The required child element <entityType> specifies the type of entity (i.e., corporate body, family, or person). The optional <otherEntityTypes> element can be used to encode other entity types used in the local context. An optional <identityId> is available for any identifiers associated with the CPF entity.
One or more <nameEntry> elements and/or one or more <nameEntrySet> elements must be included. All names by which the identity being described within one <cpfDescription> element is known are provided within <identity>. Each of the names, whether authorized or alternatives, should be recorded in a separate <nameEntry> element.
<identity> may accommodate two or more parallel names in different languages or scripts. In countries where there is more than one official language, such as Canada or Switzerland, names of CPF entities are frequently provided in more than one language. Within <identity>, a <nameEntrySet> element should be used to group two or more <nameEntry> elements that represent parallel forms of the name of the CPF entity being described.
Within <identity>, a <descriptiveNote> element may be used to record other information in a textual form that assists in the identification of the CPF entity.
In case of multiple identities of the same entity in one EAC-CPF instance, such that multiple <cpfDescription> elements are used, a separate <identity> element is contained in each of the <cpfDescription> elements of the EAC-CPF instance.
The prescribed order of all child elements (both required and optional) is:
<entityType>



<nameEntry> and/or <nameEntrySet>



<otherEntityTypes>



<identityId>

A required child element of <alternativeSet> that allows an alternative authority record of the EAC-CPF instance being described to be referenced and described, as well as allowing the inclusion of the entire encoding of such alternative authority record in any XML format.
Attribute usage:
Use @href to provide a general reference to alternative sets.

May contain:
componentEntry (0..n), descriptiveNote (0..1), objectXMLWrap (0..1)
May occur within:
alternativeSet
Description and Usage:
<setComponent> provides a wrapper to link to, describe, or contain one or more alternative authority record, so that multiple records for the same entity from separate authority systems, or in different languages, may be combined together within a single EAC-CPF instance.
The <componentEntry> child element allows for the provision of a name or title for the alternative authority record and the inclusion of a link to the record in an external system, if using a vocabulary or similar.
Use the optional <descriptiveNote> for a textual note providing further information about the record referenced in <setComponent>.
Use the optional <objectXMLWrap> child element when including the entire authority record within the EAC-CPF instance.

<p>Sir Edward Noel (d 1643) married Julian, daughter and co-heir of Baptists Hicks (d 1629), Viscount Campden, and succeeded to the viscouty of Campden and a portion of his father-in-law's estates. The third Viscount Campden (1612-82) married Hester Wotton, daughter of the second Baron Wotton. The fourth Viscount Campden (1641-1689, created Earl of Gainsborough, 1682) married Elizabeth Wriothesley, elder daughter of the fourth Earl of Southampton. Jane Noel (d 1811), sister of the fifth and sixth Earls of Gainsborough, married Gerard Anne Edwards of Welham Grove (Leicetershire) and had issue Gerard Noel Edwards (1759-1838). He married in 1780 Diana Middleton (1762-1823 suo jure Baroness Barham), daughter of Charles Middleton (1726-1813), created first Baronet of Barham Court (Kent) in 1781 and first Baron Barham in 1805. GN Edwards assumed the surname Noel in 1798 on inheriting the sixth Earl of Gainborough's Rutland and Gloucestershire estates (though not the Earl's honours, which were extinguished); and he later inherited his father-in-law's baronetcy. His eldest son John Noel (1781-1866) succeeded to the estates of his mother and his father, to his mother's barony and his father's baronetcy, and was created Viscount Campden and Earl of Gainsborough in 1841.</p>

  [toc]
Attributes
Introduction  [toc]
Attributes are associated with most of the elements contained in EAC-CPF. Attributes reflect named properties of an element and may take on different values, depending on the context in which they occur. In order to set one or more attributes, an encoder should include the name of the attribute(s) within the same angle brackets as the start tag, together with the value(s) to which the attribute(s) is/are to be set. That is,<[tag] [attribute]="[value]">or<[tag] [attribute1]="[value1]" [attribute2]="[value2]">
For example:<fromDate standardDate="1939">1939</fromDate>or<fromDate certainty="approximate" standardDate="1939">1939</fromDate>
Most attributes are optional, though some are required. The attribute description indicates whether an attribute is required. This information is also available in the Attributes section of each element description.
The value of attributes may be constrained by the schema using specific attribute type values. For example, the id attribute is of type ID, which constrains its value to a string beginning with an alphabetic character. An id value must be unique within the EAC-CPF instance within which it occurs, that is, no other tag in the entire document can have the same id value. EAC-CPF attributes have the following data types (capitalization of data types follows the documentation found in the W3C Recommendation XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes Second Edition (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/):
anyURI:
A Uniform Resource Identifier. This may be a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) or a Uniform Resource Name (URN). Both relative and absolute URIs are allowed.
ID:
Unique identifier. For example, most elements have an id, so that a unique code can be established for and used to refer to that specific element. The content of the id is of the type called "ID". Parsers verify that the value of attributes of type "ID" are unique. The values of id must begin with an alpha, not numeric, character, either upper or lowercase, and may contain a . (period), : (colon), - (hyphen), or _ (underscore), but not a blank space. See also attributes of type "IDREF."
IDREFS:
List of ID reference values; values must match an existing ID of another element in the document.
NMTOKEN:
A name token, which can consist of any alpha or numeric character, as well as a . (period), : (colon), - (hyphen), or _ (underscore), but not a blank space. A number of attributes in EAC-CPF where a character string from a code list is to be used are of the type "NMTOKEN".
normalizedString:
The most general data type, a string can contain any sequence of characters allowed in XML. Certain characters may have to be represented with an entity reference, for example &lt; for <, and &amp; for &.
token:
A type of string that may not contain carriage return, line feed or tab characters, leading or trailing spaces, and any internal sequence of two or more spaces.
When the EAC-CPF schema limits attribute values to a few choices, those values are declared in the schema in what is known as a "closed list." For example, the values of audience are limited to either "external" or "internal." Other attributes are associated with semi-closed lists. Such lists include those values believed to be the most useful in many contexts, but other values are allowed. For example, <language> defines several values for languageEncoding, including "otherLanguageEncoding" which may be used to specify values that are not in the semi-closed list for languageEncoding. The definitions for some values in the closed and semi-closed lists appear below.
The following is a complete list of all the attributes that occur in EAC-CPF, and some discussion of how they may be used. Further, context-specific information about the use of certain attributes may be found in the "Attribute usage" section of the element descriptions.
@addressLineType
 Address Line Type  [toc]
Summary:
Used to specify the type of address line encoded in <addressLine>.
Description and Usage:
Use one of the set values to specify the type of address line encoded in <addressLine>. Use the attribute localType in order to encode a local type of address line.
Values:
county, country, district, municipality, postBox, postalCode, region, street
Example:
<address>
<addressLine languageOfElement="se">Kungl. Hovstaterna</addressLine>

<addressLine languageOfElement="se">Kungl. Slottet</addressLine>

<addressLine addressLineType="postalCode">10770</addressLine>

<addressLine languageOfElement="se" addressLineType="municipality">Stockholm</addressLine>

<addressLine languageOfElement="se" addressLineType="country">Sverige</addressLine>

<addressLine languageOfElement="en" addressLineType="country">Sweden</addressLine>

</address>





 
@agentType
 Agent Type  [toc]
Summary:
A required attribute of <agent> that indicates the type of agent responsible for the creation, modification, or deletion of an EAC-CPF instance.
Description and Usage:
The attribute's value must be set to "human," "machine," or "unknown," and should correspond to the information recorded in <agent>. For example, if the <agent> is Jane Marshall, the value of agentType should be set to "human." If the <agent> is a database, style sheet, or other system, the value of agentType should be set to "machine." The value of agentType may also be set to "unknown" if the agent and/or type of agent cannot be determined.
Values:
human, machine, unknown
Example:
<maintenanceEvent maintenanceEventType="updated">
<agent agentType="human">A. Smith</agent>

<eventDateTime standardDateTime="2021-12">December 2021</eventDateTime>

</maintenanceEvent>





 
@audience
 Audience  [toc]
Summary:
An optional attribute that helps control whether the information contained in the element should be available to all viewers or only to repository staff.
Description and Usage:
Available as global attribute for all elements. The attribute can be set to "external" in <cpfDescription> to allow access to all the information about the entity being described, but specific elements within <cpfDescription> can also be set to "internal" to reserve that information for repository access only. This feature is intended to assist application software in restricting access to particular information by explicitly identifying data that is potentially sensitive or may otherwise have a limited audience. Special software capability may be needed, however, to prevent the display or export of an element marked "internal" when a whole EAC-CPF instance is displayed in a networked environment.
Values:
external, internal
Example:
<eac audience="external"> [...] </eac>





 
@base
 Base  [toc]
Summary:
Optional attribute used to specify a base URI that is different to the base URI of the EAC-CPF instance.
Description and Usage:
Using the optional attribute base allows any relative URIs provided on attributes of a specific element, or its descendants, to be resolved using the URI provided in that element's or its parent element's base.
Available on <alternativeSet>, <control>, <cpfDescription>, <description>, <eac>, <identity>, <multipleIdentities>, <relations>, and <sources>.
Data Type:
anyURI
Example:
<description base="https://d-nb.info/gnd/">
<occupations>
<occupation vocabularySource="GND" valueURI="4393865-6">
<term languageOfElement="de">Soziologin</term>

@maintenanceStatus
 Maintenance Status  [toc]
Summary:
The current drafting status of the EAC-CPF instance.
Description and Usage:
The maintenance status must occur on <control>. As an EAC-CPF instance is modified or other events happen to it (as recorded in the <maintenanceHistory> element), the maintenance status should also be updated to reflect the current drafting status.
On first creation the status would be "new", which on revision can be changed to "revised". Because it is important to be clear about what has happened to records, particularly when sharing and making links between them, a number of status values are available for records that are no longer current. A record that is simply deleted from a system can be given the status "deleted", but in cases where a record is marked as not current (obsolete or rejected) but kept for reference then it should be given the status "cancelled". If a record is deleted because it has become superseded by two or more records then its status should be given as "deletedSplit", while if it has simply been replaced by a new record then "deletedReplaced" is the appropriate status value. If a record is deleted because it has been merged with another record, its status should be given as "deletedMerged". A "derived" status value is available to indicate that the record was derived from another descriptive system.
Values:
cancelled, deleted, deletedMerged, deletedReplaced, deletedSplit, derived, new, revised
Example:
<control countryEncoding="iso3166-1" dateEncoding="iso8601" languageEncoding="iso639-2b" maintenanceStatus="new" publicationStatus="published" repositoryEncoding="iso15511" scriptEncoding="iso15924"> [...] </control>

@publicationStatus
 Publication Status  [toc]
Summary:
The current publication status of the EAC-CPF instance.
Description and Usage:
The publication status may occur on <control> to indicate the current publication status of the EAC-CPF instance, whether in process, approved or final. As an EAC-CPF instance is modified or other events happen to it (as recorded in the <maintenanceHistory> element), the publication status should also be updated.
A newly created EAC-CPF instance will usually start with a publication status of "inProcess". This partial and preliminary status will be applicable as long as the author or the creating agency is working on the document. Depending on the context, the document might first reach a pre-publication level, awaiting approval e.g. by a higher level manager or an authorizing agency. Once such approval has been given, the status "approved" could be assigned for internal purposes while the EAC-CPF instance is not publicly available yet. When the EAC-CPF instance has been published on the institution’s own website or via the authorizing agency, the status "published" can be assigned.
