| | | | |
| − | The [[Edit screen]] for [[Archival description|archival descripitons]] is structured into ten [[Information area|information areas]]. Seven of these are based on the "areas of description" in the ICA's ''General International Standard Archival Description'' ([[RS-1|ISAD(G)]], 2nd edition, 2000).

| + | [[Image:ArchDescPublish.png|500px|right|thumb|Default draft, Select published]] |
| | | | |
| | + | The default status of a newly created archival description is DRAFT. Under the [[Glossary#Administration area|Administration area]] users with publication privileges can select [[Glossary#Published record|PUBLISHED]] as the new status of the archival description, making it available for read access to the public. |
| | | | |
| − | The following notes aim primarily to clarify ICA-AtoM procedures; for guidelines on what information to record in particular fields, consult [[RS-1|ISAD(G)]] as the content standard. The notes are organized by [[Field|field]], with links to the applicable [[RS-1|ISAD(G)]] section(s). Where there is a one-to-one correspondence between an [[Data element|ISAD(G) element]] and an [[Field|ICA-AtoM field]], the note simply gives the [[RS-1|ISAD(G)]] rule verbatim.

| − | == Identity area ==
| |
| | | | |
| − | [[Image:um3-1-1Identity.png|500px|right|thumb|Edit archival description: identity area]]
| + | Introduced in Release 1.3, the number of characters allowed in the "Title" data entry field has been increased. See Issue 1628. |
| | | | |
| − | The ''Identity area'' contains fields for conveying "essential information ... to identify the unit of description" ([[RS-1#i.11|ISAD(G) I.11]]).
| + | </div> |
| | | | |
| | + | <div class="clearfix"> |
| | | | |
| − | 1. '''Reference code'''
| + | == Add a new child description == |
| − | *"Record, as necessary for unique identification, the following elements:
| |
| − | **the country code in accordance with the latest version of ISO 3166 Codes for the representation of names of countries;
| |
| − | **the repository code in accordance with the national repository code standard or other unique location identifier;
| |
| − | **a specific local reference code, control number, or other unique identifier.
| |
| | | | |
| − | All three elements must be present for the purpose of information exchange at the international level." ([[RS-1#3.1.1|ISAD(G) 3.1.1]])
| + | Create new [[Glossary#Child record|child records]] in one of two ways: |
| | | | |
| | | | |
| − | 2. '''Title'''
| + | == New child description: OPTION ONE == |
| − | *"Provide either a formal title or a concise supplied title in accordance with the rules of multilevel description and national conventions.
| |
| − | *If appropriate, abridge a long formal title, but only if this can be done without loss of essential information.
| |
| − | *For supplied titles, at the higher level, include the name of the creator of the records. At lower levels one may include, for example, the name of the author of the document and a term indicating the form of the material comprising the unit of description and, where appropriate, a phrase reflecting function, activity, subject, location, or theme.
| |
| − | *Distinguish between formal and supplied titles according to national or language conventions." ([[RS-1#3.1.2|ISAD(G) 3.1.2]])
| |
| | | | |
| | + | * In the [[Glossary#Archival description|archival description]] [[Glossary#Edit page|edit page]], in the ISAD identity [[Glossary#Information area|information area]], or the RAD title and statement responsibility area, enter the relevant data under "Add new child levels". |
| | | | |
| − | 3. '''Title note'''
| + | * Note that you can add as many levels as needed at one time; for example, to add multiple series to a fonds or collection, fill in the [[Glossary#Field|fields]] under the "Add new child levels" and add as many lower levels as desired. When the record is saved, you will be able to see the new [[Glossary#Child record|child records]] in the [[Glossary#Context menu|context menu]]. The example provided uses the RAD template for a Fonds level description in which the user has started adding a new child at the series level, titled: "Licensing". [[Image:RAD-ChildLevels.png|400px|right|thumb|RAD title and statement area, add new child level]] |
| − | *[[Multi-value field]] for registering and displaying the notes relating to the title of the unit of description. | |
| − | *Enter the note; when you click the [[Save button]] in the [[Button block]] the ''note'' will be registered and will now appear in the list above the data entry fields.
| |
| − | *There is no limit to the number of ''title notes'' you can add, but as of the current version of ICA-AtoM (v1.0 beta) you can only register them one at a time, i.e. enter the data, click the [[Save button]], repeat for each additional contact.
| |
| − | *To delete a ''title note'', click the [[Delete icon]] next to it in the list.
| |
| − | *''Title notes'' also appear with other notes in the [[#Notes area|Notes area]].
| |
| | | | |
| | + | </div> |
| | | | |
| − | 4. '''Level of description'''
| + | <div class="clearfix"> |
| − | *"Record the level of this unit of description." ([[RS-1#3.1.4|ISAD(G) 3.1.4]])
| |
| − | *ICA-AtoM ships with a default [[Value list|value list]] of levels; this can customized by [[Editor|editors]] and [[Administrator|administrators]].
| |
| | | | |
| | + | *Here is an example of the ISAD data entry template for an existing fonds that the user is adding new child levels.Remember to save all changes.[[Image:archDescAddNew.png|400px|right|thumb|ISAD - Add multiple new child records to a parent record]] |
| | | | |
| − | 5. '''Parent level''':
| + | </div> |
| − | *Select the unit immediately above the current one in the hierarchy of arrangement ([[Parent record|parent record]]).
| |
| − | *Leave blank if the current unit represents the highest level of arrangement (e.g. a fonds).
| |
| | | | |
| | + | <div class="clearfix"> |
| | | | |
| − | 6. '''Extent and medium'''
| + | *Once you have saved the child levels, you can see in this RAD example that the "Licensing" series is now in the context menu/ treeview.[[Image:RAD-ArchivalDesc-Addnew01.png|400px|right|thumb|RAD - view archival description]] |
| − | *"Record the extent of the unit of description by giving the number of physical or logical units in arabic numerals and the unit of measurement. Give the specific medium (media) of the unit of description. | |
| − | *Alternatively, give the linear shelf space or cubic storage space of the unit of description. If the statement of extent for a unit of description is given in linear terms and additional information is desirable, add the additional information in parentheses." ([[RS-1#3.1.5|ISAD(G) 3.1.5]])
| |
| | | | |
| | + | </div> |
| | | | |
| − | 7. Note that the ISAD(G) ''Dates'' element ([[RS-1#3.1.3|ISAD(G) 3.1.3]]) is implemented by ICA-AtoM in the ''Context area'', where dates are linked to a [[Creator|creator]] in a [[Glossary#Event|creation event]].
| + | <div class="clearfix"> |
| | | | |
| − | <br clear="right">
| + | * If the levels need to be changed. From within the context menu, logged-in users with permission can re-arrange child level descriptions (e.g., Series, Files, Items) within the Fonds treeview by simply dragging and dropping the selected resources. |

| − | [[Image:um3-1-1Context3.png|500px|right|thumb|Edit the Administrative history in the related authority record]]
| + | == New child description: OPTION TWO == |
| | | | |
| − | The ''Context area'' contains fields for conveying "information about the origin and custody of the unit of description" ([[RS-1#I.11|ISAD(G) I.11]]).
| + | * In the [[Glossary#Archival description|archival description]] [[Glossary#View page|view page]], click the "Add new" button in the [[Glossary#Button block|button block]] at the bottom of the page; this will create a new description that is one [[Glossary#Level of description|level of description]] below the description currently in the [[Glossary#View page|view page]]. When the record is saved, you will be able to see the new [[Glossary#Child record|child records]] in the [[Glossary#Context menu|context menu]]. |
| | | | |
| | + | *This approach, lets the logged-in user navigate to the archival description and then add new child levels using the button, instead of editing within the fonds description. Here is an example from an ISAD archival description [[Image:archDescButtonBlock.png|400px|right|thumb|Click the "Add new" button in the button block to create a new child record]] |
| | | | |
| − | Note that date ranges are handled in ICA-AtoM as [[Event|creation events]] and recorded in this [[Information area|information area]] rather than the ''Identity area'' as per ISAD(G).
| + | </div> |
| − | *At the highest [[Level of description|level of description]], the [[Archival unit|archival unit]] is associated with its [[Creator|creator]] over a certain date range.
| |
| − | *At lower [[Level of description|levels]], enter the date range, but leave the ''Creator name'' blank to inherit the [[Creator|creator]] from the higher [[Level of description|level]].
| |
| − | *If you want to associate a lower [[Level of description|level]] with a [[Creator|creator]] different than the higher [[Level of description|level]], enter / select a different ''Creator name''.
| |
| | | | |
| | + | <div class="clearfix"> |
| | | | |
| − | 1. '''Creation context'''
| + | *It is important to note that after clicking on the add new record button, the edit archival description template will appear, but no reference is made to the parent archival fonds. The example shown is using the RAD template, and you can see that the header is "untitled". Enter appropriate information into the template for the lower-level descriptions, and remember to select the level of description. [[Image:RAD-ArchDesc-Addnew02.png|400px|right|thumb|RAD Archival description edit template for new child level]] |
| − | *[[Multi-value field]] for registering and displaying [[Event|creation events]] (dates of creation). | |
| − | *Enter the [[Event|event]] data (see steps 2-4 below); when you click the [[Save button]] in the [[Button block]] the [[Event|event]] will be registered and will now appear in the list below the data entry fields.
| |
| − | *There is no limit to the number of other [[Event|creation events]] you can add, but as of the current version of ICA-AtoM (v1.0 beta) you can only register them one at a time, i.e. enter the data, click the [[Save button]], repeat for each additional event.
| |
| − | *To delete an event, click the [[Delete icon]] next to it in the list.
| |
| − | *For rules and examples relating to ''dates'' and ''creators'', see ([[RS-1#3.1.3|ISAD(G) 3.1.3]] and [[RS-1#3.2.1|3.2.1]]).
| |
| | | | |
| | + | *Remember to click save once you have completed entering the data. |
| | | | |
| − | 2. '''Creator''' and '''Add new creator name''':
| + | </div> |
| − | *Select the [[Creator|creator's]] name from the ''Creator'' drop-down list (generated from the names of all existing [[Authority record|authority records]].
| |
| − | *If the [[Creator|creator's]] name does '''not''' appear in the list, use the ''Add new creator name'' field to enter the 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 [[Parent record|parent record]] (next highest [[Level of description|level of description]]).
| |
| − | *At the highest [[Level of description|level of description]], you should always include the [[Creator|creator]]; the ''Administrative history / biographical sketch'' is drawn from the [[Creator|creator's]] [[Authority record|authority record]].
| |
| − | *Lower levels inherit creator information from higher levels: use only if the [[Creator|creator]] is different at the lower and higher levels.
| |
| | | | |

| − | 3. '''Creation year / End year'''
| + | *After clicking save, the user is returned to the Archival Description for the fonds level, but the new child-level has been added. You can see this in the RAD example provided. [[Image:RAD-ArchDesc-Addnew03.png|400px|right|thumb|RAD view archival description with new child level]] |
| − | *Enter the opening and closing years of the date range. | |
| | | | |
| − | *ICA-AtoM uses these values for sorting and searching purposes.
| + | </div> |
| | | | |
| − | *Use only four-digit numbers.
| + | <div class="clearfix"> |
| | | | |
| − | *If the start and end years are the same, enter only in the ''Creation year'' and leave the ''End year'' blank.
| + | == Duplicate an existing description == |
| | | | |
| − | *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).
| + | # At the bottom of the archival description [[Glossary#edit page|edit page]] click the [[Glossary#Duplicate button|duplicate button]] in the button block to make a duplicate archival description.[[Image:duplicateButtonBlock.png|400px|right|thumb|Click the "Duplicate" button in the button block to make a duplicate descriptive record]] |
| | + | # The user is directed to a new screen and can [[Glossary#Edit duplicate|edit the duplicate archival description]], which is an exact duplicate of the original archival description. Before starting the [[Glossary#edit page|edit page]] provides a warning. |
| | + | # After editing the duplicate archival description, the user can cancel or save the changes.[[Image:editduplicate.png|400px|right|thumb|Warning shown to user in duplicate record edit page]] |

| − | 4. '''Date display'''
| |
| − | *Enter the date range as you want it to appear in [[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'''
| |
| − | *Record concisely any significant information on the origin, progress, development and work of the organization (or organizations) or on the life and work of the individual (or individuals) responsible for the creation of the unit of description. If additional information is available in a published source, cite the source. The Information Areas of ISAAR(CPF) suggest specific informational elements that may be included in this element. For persons or families record information such as full names and titles, dates of birth and death, place of birth, successive places of domicile, activities, occupation or offices, original and any other names, significant accomplishments, and place of death." ([[RS-1#3.2.2|ISAD(G) 3.2.2]])
| |
| − | | |
| − | *If you have registered more than one creator in the [[Event|creation events]], the administrative histories / biographical sketches of each will appear here sequentially, separated by a line.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *This data actually resides in [[Creator|creator's]] [[Authority record|authority record]]. It cannot be directly edited here; to edit, click the [[Edit icon]]; ICA-AtoM routes you to the related [[Authority record|authority record]] in [[Edit mode|edit mode]]. Make changes and save; ICA-AtoM returns you to the [[Edit screen|Edit archival description]] screen and re-loads the page, collapsing all [[Information area|information areas]].

| |
| − | *From the [[Drop-down menu|drop-down menu]], select the [[Archival institution|archival institution]] that holds the archival material under description.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *The list in [[Drop-down menu|drop-down menu]] is generated from all existing [[Archival institution|archival institution]] records.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *If the repository does '''not''' appear in this list, you need to create it separately; see [[UM-3.3|Add / edit archival institutions (UM-3-3)]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Typically you need only enter this information at the highest [[Level of description|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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 7. '''Immediate source of acquisition'''
| |
| − | *"Record the source from which the unit of description was acquired and the date and/or method of acquisition if any or all of this information is not confidential. If the source is unknown, record that information. Optionally, add accession numbers or codes." ([[RS-1#3.2.4|ISAD(G) 3.2.4]])
