| + | Introduced in 1.3 Release is the ability for site Administrators to track digital object storage per repository. Storage limits may be placed on individual repositories by in-house server capacity or on hosted server agreements. If you are utilizing a multi-institutional / portal instance of ICA-AtoM you will need to check with the site Administrator to learn the digital object storage limitations. |

| | | | |
| | + | <div class="clearfix"> |
| | | | |
| − | 1. '''Reference code''' ([[ISAD(G)#isad3.1.1|ISAD(G) 3.1.1]]):
| + | == From an archival description edit page == |
| − | *Enter the reference code that uniquely identifies the archival unit under description.
| |
| | | | |
| | + | In the Repository [[Glossary#Field|field]] of an ISAD, RAD or MODS [[Glossary#Archival description|archival description]] or in the Relation (isLocatedAt) [[Glossary#Field|field]] of a Dublin Core [[Glossary#Archival description|archival description]], type in a new [[Glossary#Archival institution|archival institution]] name. A new [[Glossary#Archival institution|archival institution]] will be created when you save the record. |

| |
| | | | |
| | + | == From an archival institution view page == |
| | | | |
| − | 3. '''Title notes''' ([[ISAD(G)#isad3.1.2|ISAD(G) 3.1.2]], [[ISAD(G)#isad3.6.1|ISAD(G) 3.6.1]]):
| + | Click the [[Glossary#Add new button|add new button]] in the [[Glossary#Button block|button block]] of an [[Glossary#Archival institution|archival institution]] [[Glossary#View page|view page]]. This will open a blank [[Glossary#Edit page|edit page]] for data entry. |
| − | *Enter a note relating to the title if applicable.
| |
| − | *Note that you can add multiple title notes: in the current version of ICA-AtoM (v0.6), you must save the record before you can add another note.
| |
| | | | |
| | + | </div> |
| | | | |
| − | 4. '''Version''' ([[ISAD(G)]]:
| + | [[Category:User manual]] |
| − | *Enter the version number of the description if applicable; structure according to local / institutional standards.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 5. '''Level of description''' ([[ISAD(G)#isad3.1.4|ISAD(G) 3.1.4]]):
| |
| − | *Select the appropriate level of description from the drop-down list.
| |
| − | *List terms can be customized by [[Glossary$Administrator|administrators]] to suit their institution's arrangement system.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 6. '''Next upper level of description''':
| |
| − | *Select the unit immediately above the current one in the hierarchy of arrangement ("parent record").
| |
| − | *Leave blank if the current unit represents the highest level of arrangement (e.g. a fonds).
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 7. '''Extent and medium''' ([[ISAD(G)#isad3.1.5|ISAD(G) 3.1.5]]):
| |
| − | *Enter information relating to the physical size, media, and formats.
| |
| − | *Structure data according to your institution's local standards (e.g. separate entries by commas or separate lines).
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 8. Note that the [[ISAD(G)]] '''Dates''' element (ISAD(G)#isad3.1.3|3.1.3]]) is implemented by ICA-AtoM in the '''Context area''', where dates are linked to a [[Glossary#Creator|creator]] in a [[Glossary#Event|creation event]].

| |
| − | == Context area ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:um3-1-1ContextArea.png|500px|right|thumb|Archival description: Identity area]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | The "Context area" contains fields that provide information about the origins and custody of the archival material being described.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Note that date ranges are handled in ICA-AtoM as creation [[Glossary#Event|events]].
| |
| − | *At the highest [[Glossary#Level of description|level of description]], the [[Glossary#Archival unit|archival unit]] is associated with its [[Glossary#Creator|creator]] over a date range.
| |
| − | *At lower [[Glossary#Level of description|levels]], enter the date range, but leave the '''Creator name''' blank to inherit the [[Glossary#Creator|creator]] from the higher [[Glossary#Level of description|level]].
| |
| − | *If you want to associate a lower [[Glossary#Level of description|level]] with a [[Glossary#Creator|creator]] different than the higher [[Glossary#Level of description|level]], enter / select a different '''Creator name'''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 1. '''Creation context''':
| |
| − | *Use this area to register a new create [[Glossary#Event|event]] and view existing ones.
| |
| − | *Register as many creation events as you need. ISAD(G) recognizes more than one type of date (e.g. dates of document creation vs dates of accumulation, see [[ISAD(G)#isad3.1.3 |ISAD(G) 3.1.3]]). And in some arrangement systems there may be more than one creator (e.g. in a series system, a series may be successively controlled by differen bodies over time).
| |
| − | *The first entry in the list (containing empty text boxes) is for registering a new creation event.
| |
| − | *Any subsequent entries show events already registered.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 2. '''Creator''' and '''Add new creator name''':
| |
| − | *Select the [[Glossary#Creator|creator's]] name from the "Creator" drop-down list (generated from the names of all existing [[Glossary#Authority record|authority records]].
| |
| − | *If the [[Glossary#Creator|creator's]] name does '''not''' appear in the list, use the "Add new creator name" field to enter the [[Glossary#Creator|creator's]] name.
| |
| − | *If you select a name from the drop-down list, ICA-AtoM will ignore any text you may have entered in the '''Add new creator name''' field.
| |
| − | *Note that you can leave both of these fields blank; in this case, the unit will inherit creator information from its [[Glossary#Parent level of description|parent record]] (next highest [[Glossary#Level of description|level of description]]).
| |
| − | *At the highest [[Glossary#Level of description|level of description]], you should always include the [[Glossary#Creator|creator]]; the "Administrative history / biographical sketch" is drawn from the [[Glossary#Creator|creator's]] [[Glossary#Authority record|authority record]].
| |
| − | *Lower levels inherit creator information from higher levels: use only if the [[Glossary#Creator|creator]] is different at the lower and higher [[Glossary#Level of description|levels]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 3. '''Creation year / End year''' ([[ISAD(G)#isad3.1.3 |ISAD(G) 3.1.3]]):
| |
| − | *Enter the opening and closing years of the date range.
| |
| − | *ICA-AtoM uses these values for sorting and searching purposes.
| |
| − | *Use only four-digit numbers.
| |
| − | *If the start and end years are the same, enter only in the start year and leave the end year blank.
| |
| − | *Complete at lower levels of description even if you are leaving the "Creator name" field blank (e.g. when describing a series, you do not need to repeat the "Creator name" from the fonds description, but you do need to enter the date range of the series).
| |
| − | *Do not use any qualifiers here (e.g. "ca.") or typographical symbols (e.g. "[194?]") to express uncertainty (see step4).
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 4. '''Date display''' ([[ISAD(G)#isad3.1.3 | ISAD(G) 3.1.3]]):
| |
| − | *Enter the date range as you want it to appear in [[Glossary#View mode|view mode]].
| |
| − | *Add any additional text to qualify date range (e.g. "ca. 1940-1980" or "[1940]-1980, predominant 1973-1980").
| |
| − | *Whereas "Creation year" and "End year" are used internally for database searching and sorting purposes, this field is for display purposes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 5. '''Administrative / biographical history''' ([[ISAD(G)#isad3.2.2 |ISAD(G) 3.2.2]]):
| |
| − | *Text block displaying data from the [[Glossary#Creator|creator's]] [[Glossary#Authority record|authority record]].
| |
| − | *If you have registered more than one creator in the creator [[Glossary#Event|events]], the administrative histories / biographical sketches of each will appear here sequentially, separated by a line (horizontal rule).
| |
| − | *Because the data actually resides in another record in another table, it cannot be directly edited here; to edit, click the [[Glossary#Edit icon|Edit icon]] (see step 6 below).
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 6. '''Edit administrative / biographical history''':
| |
| − | *Click the [[Glossary#Edit icon|Edit icon]] to edit the "Administrative / biographical history" field; ICA-AtoM routes you to the related authority record in [[Glossary#Edit mode|edit mode]].
| |
| − | *Make changes and save; ICA-AtoM returns you to the [[Glossary#Edit screen|Edit archival description]] screen.
| |
| − | *Note that upon return all, ICA-AtoM re-loads the page, collapsing all [[Glossary#Record area|record areas]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 7. '''Repository''':
| |
| − | *Select the institution that holds the archival material under description from the drop-down list in the "Repository" field (list is generated from all existing [[Glossary#Archival institution|archival institution]] records.
| |
| − | *Typically you need only enter this information at the highest level of description (e.g. the fonds or collection; series in a series system); it can be left blank at the lower levels if they are all stored in the same repository.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 8. '''Immediate source of acquisition''' ([[ISAD(G)#isad3.2.4 |ISAD(G) 3.2.4]]):
| |
| − | *Enter information relating to the circumstances leading to the acquisition of the material by the archival institution.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 9. '''Archival history''' ([[ISAD(G)#isad3.2.3 |ISAD(G) 3.2.3]]):
| |
| − | *Enter information relating to the history of custody of the material being described.
