Suggested Solution

• Text: Mark wrote:

None of those examples associate date information with one of the local "terms", and all of the examples would be better accommodated [...] via an attribute in another namespace, since they are all there, by definition, for local use.

Context

• Text: In EAC this element is only used to encode the level of detail according ISAAR(CPF). This can easily be solved by the introduction of an attribute //control @levelOfDetail with a list of values. EAC has minimal interest to keep this element but will have it for alignment of //control.

EAD team discussed this issue during their November meeting and it was decided that we will be asking for EAD3 examples in general as well as for use cases for <localControl> specifically when announcing the upcoming major revision of EAD. The aim would be to have some more insight in the usage of <localControl> within EAD before the end of the call for comments period of the major EAC revision, so that we could:

• either decide to remove <localControl> due to lack of use cases from the community or due to having seen good arguments to transform those use cases into standardised elements and/or attributes in a future version of EAD;
• or decide to keep <localControl> in both EAS.
