Instructions for exporting EAD from ASpace and editing before putting onto UWDCC testsite.

Exporting EAD from ASpace

  1. If not already done so, import MARCxml Resource Record from Alma, and merge into the EAD Resource Record (the presence of subject headings is a strong indicator of the MARC already being imported)
  2. Export PDF for review and make needed edits [for larger finding aids ASpace chokes (202209 aeb)]
  3. Publish all at collection level, this checks the box for "Publish?" for all fields.
    1. Uncheck publish for Collection level > Notes > Type = Physical Location Content = whi.
    2. Do not un-publish the other Physical Location note which has the link to the catalog.
  4. Export -- Download EAD -- check

  5. Open xml in <oXygen/>
  6. Save as:
    L:\\LIBARC\LIBARC SHARED\Archives Cataloging and EAD\EAD\ASpace\[file name]
     File name = last part of EAD ID ; for example: m2001028

or
 

Replace with appropriate ARC or Collection link

  1. Replace <physloc id="aspace_[######]">whi</physloc> with:
    <physloc type="locationcode" audience="internal">whi</physloc>
    [ARC or Collection link contains the updated coding]
  2. Replace <odd id="aspace_[######]"> <head>General</head> with:
    <note>

  3. Move <note> pointing to restriction and assigned series number before the closing <did> tag after the abstract
  4. Create, before <dsc>:
    <descgrp 
    type="admininfo"> <head>Administrative/Restriction Information</head> 
  5. Move under <descgrp>:
    <userestrict> <accessrestrict> <acqinfo> <processinfo>
     
  6. Add closing tag </descgrp>
  7. Remove <head> under <accessrestrict> <userestrict> <acqinfo> <scopecontents> <bioghist>
    The only
    <head> should be for the Administrative/Restriction Information
  8. For any <extref> remove any "xlink:" before href attribute
  9. For <list> verify type. ASpace allows for type="deflist" or "ordered" or <chronlist>; if not one of these change type="marked" [or remove type attribute?] The <list> under arrangement with Parts needs to have no type attribute [or can be type="marked"?]
  10. For <controlaccess>: Replace "Library of Congress Subject Headings" in <subject> source attribute with "lcsh"

    For multi-part collections
    <dsc type="combined">
         <head>Contents List</head>
  12. For <container>: make sure attribute label is  included and capitalized; most common missing is type="folder"
    Also might be for "volume" "disc" "video" etc. anything which might be inside a box
  13. Html codes
    - Replace "[space]&amp;[space]" with
    "[space]&#38;[space]"
    - Replace remainder of &amp; with &
  14. Validate in <oXygen/> = Validte with -- ead.dtd file in EAD/EAD New/EAD DTD and Stylesheet 
    1. Ignore validation error for logo: E[Xerces]ENTITY "whslogo" is not unparsed.
  15. Move edited file to EAD New [or EAD Updates]
  16. FTP to UWDCC testsite
  17. Review finding aid on testsite, make any major edits to ASpace document
  18. Export final PDF from ASpace and save in appropriate Accessions or Register folder on the Ldrive
