Discussion
Identify the correct statement :
EAD is a metadata standard which has the following characteristics.
(a) Standard for encoding archival finding aids
(b) Uses XML in archival and manuscript repositories
(c) Implements recommendations of International Council of Archives
(d) The scheme is maintained by DDI Alliance
Answer: A
Statements (a), (b), (c) are correct.
EAD, Encoded Archival Description, is a standard for encoding archival finding aids (a), and it is expressed in XML for use in archival and manuscript repositories (b). It was designed to work with the International Council on Archives' descriptive standard ISAD(G), implementing its recommendations (c).
Statement (d) is wrong. EAD is maintained by the Library of Congress together with the Society of American Archivists. The DDI Alliance maintains the Data Documentation Initiative standard for describing social science data. So every option with (d) is wrong.
