EAC - Encoded Archival Context
EAC is an ongoing initiative within the international archival community to design and implement a prototype standard based on Extensible Markup Language (XML) for encoding descriptions of record creators. The proposed metadata standard is intended to comply with the International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families (ISAAR CPF) and complement other national standards governing name authority control for personal and corporate entities.
