ICA-AtoM provides an import functionality that can be used to import archival descriptions, authority records, archival institutions and terms.

The following filetypes can be exported:

EAD (hierarchical archival descriptions and associated authority records, archival institution descriptions and taxonomy terms)
Dublin Core XML, MODS XML (archival descriptions and associated taxonomy terms)
EAC (authority records)
SKOS (hierarchical taxonomies)

Exporting an Archival description as EAD

EAD export

In the archival description view page, select EAD 2002 XML under Export in the context menu. This will export the current archival description plus all its child records and associated authority records, archival institution descriptions and taxonomy terms.

Dublin Core XML export

In the archival description view page, select Dublin Core 1.1 XML under Export in the context menu. This will export the current archival description plus associated taxonomy terms.

MODS XML export

Go to an archival description view page using the MODS description template. Select MODS 3.3 XML under Export in the context menu. This will export the current archival description plus associated taxonomy terms.

EAC export

In an authority record view page, select EAC under Export in the context menu.

SKOS export

In a term view page, select SKOS under Export in the context menu. This will export the current term and all its narrow terms.
