Comment #7 on issue 912 by [email protected]: Merge imported files to existing records
http://code.google.com/p/qubit-toolkit/issues/detail?id=912
I'm glad to see this is being addressed but I'd like to suggest a refinement: - on the EAD side, I'd use <eadid identifier="xxx">. <archdesc id="xxx"> should really map to the main identifier. This field (identifier) is also not used consistently at least in Canadian practice, since it's not in RAD - so it's not necessarily stable, if it's populated at all. - ideally, I think the field used in ICA-AtoM shouldn't be editable (e.g. a new field sourceID or something). But if this is used for periodic feeds (e.g. from provincial networks into Archives Canada), maybe that's not a critical issue.
This way, <eadid identifier=xxx> can be used for a unique/system identifier if there is one (or an appropriate combination of fields generated by the contributing system); and then <archdesc id=xxx> can be used for the information actually needed for the end user, which could be edited if necessary.
