Webinar for the Call for Comments: Encoded Archival Functions (EAF) draft

The Functions Team of the Technical Committee for Encoded Archival Standards (TS-EAS) is excited to announce a webinar to support the call for comments!

During the early summer TS-EAS released a white paper introducing EAF, a draft XML encoding standard based on the International Standard Description of Functions (ISDF) that can be incorporated into the EAS family of standards.

The white paper describes the work of the subteam and its proposed encoding solution, along with a number of examples. The white paper also includes some context about the draft and its potential value to the international archival community, which fills an existing gap in the XML encoding standards landscape.

To give some extra information before the call closes on September 30, 2024, a webinar will be held in twice (with the same content) to accommodate different time zones around the world. Registration links for the event are below:
