Description: 

EAD3 brings changes small and large to Encoded Archival Description. After a decade since the previous revision, EAD3 attempts to balance competing priorities of simplifying when possible, reconciling with EAC-CPF when prudent, better supporting the capture and exchange of structured data when needed, and respecting existing EAD community practice when necessary. The webinar will review the significant changes in EAD3, covering elements and attribute that have been modified from EAD 2002, adapted form EAC-CPF, and added new.

Reviews: 
"The instructors were both extremely knowledgeable. I also appreciated the time devoted to hands-on practice because I learn best my doing and implementing new knowledge. Considering at my job we use Notepad++ for editing EAD, being able to use Oxygen was a well-needed breath of fresh air. Pun intended. — Dan Brenner"
"Both instructors knew the content well. Having been involved the creation, they provided good reasons why things were the way they were. They also worked well together, filling in with each others' strengths and making the class enjoyable. — Margot Note"
