Users of ICA-AtoM interact with four main entities: archival descriptions, authority records, archival institutions, and terms.
- For more on entities, see UM-1.3 Entity types.
ICA-AtoM, however, is built on underlying software (Qubit) that is designed to be flexible enough to support descriptions of other types of cultural materials in addition to archival holdings (such as library, museum and art gallery materials). The code, therefore, uses generic terms for entities. Administrators can specify how they want these terms to appear in the user interface labels. The default labels that ship with ICA-AtoM represent an archives-specific "theming" of the labels.
1. Click the admin > settings tab.
2. Open the ui_label information area.
3. The name column shows the generic qubit entity name and the value column shows ICA-AtoM's default user interface labels. The following is a list of the generic qubit terms and their ICA-AtoM user interface labels. Click on each label to see glossary definitions and descriptions of how the terms are used in ICA-AtoM.
