Records in Context: Envisioning the Next Generation of Archival Description

Since 2012, the International Council on Archives Experts Group on Archival Description (EGAD) has been developing a conceptual model (Records in Context) for archival description reconciling and integrating the four existing ICA descriptive standards. The EGAD is building on more than twenty years of ICA standards development, national or project-based archival community modeling, and allied professional communities modeling work. The presentation will provide an overview of the first draft of the standard and next steps.

Daniel Pitti is the Associate Director of the Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities, and, since 2012, the Chair of the International Council on Archives Experts Group on Archival Description. He has more than thirty years of experience in the design and development of digital library, archival, and humanities research systems.  Pitti served as the chief technical architect of Encoded Archival Description and Encoded Archival Context-Corporate Bodies, Persons, and Families.
