Comment on Transforming EAD by Pete Johnston

Another issue that may cause problems is that this version of the transform is really designed to process the “style” of EAD used in the Archives Hub – and in the particular subset of docs we processed first. So there are some structural combinations which are valid EAD but may cause this to choke – I think multiple occurrences of unitid & unittitle within a single did may cause problems, for example.

We’re working on a modified version which might be more “robust”, though EAD allows so much variation, it’s quite difficult to come up with something that works for all cases

Hi Frédéric,

I’ve been using the Saxon XSLT processor (Home Edition)

http://saxon.sourceforge.net/#F9.4HE

I haven’t tried other XSLT engines, but it does require a processor that supports XSLT 2.0/XPath 2.0

I’m trying to use your XSL with EAD XML files, but I get error message from xsltproc command when I use it. What XSLT processor do you use/recommand?

[...] And that process of aggregation may go beyond simply collecting and merging data from distributed sources. We might perform some simple inferencing to generate some additional triples to simplify querying. That might be the simple “materialization” of triples based on RDF Schema/OWL semantics, or it might be some more complex rules-based processing, say, to expand a simple statement of a life date into the sort of event-centric form I described here.
