Dear colleagues,

CNEDA (Comisión de Normas Españolas de Descripción Archivística = Commission
on Spanish Standards of Archival Description), created by the Spanish
Ministry of Culture in 2007, has completed the final document (18-06-2012)
entitled "Conceptual model of archival description and basic data
requirements for descriptions of records, agents and functions – Part 1:
entity types – Part 2: relationships" (= "Modelo conceptual de descripción
archivística y requisitos de datos básicos de las descripciones de
documentos de archivo, agentes y funciones – Parte 1: tipos de entidad –
Parte 2: relaciones"), accessible through the Web page of this Commission: 
http://www.mcu.es/archivos/MC/CNEDA/Documentos.html 

This final document is the result of work done by CNEDA in part of the first
and second activity of NEDA-I Project, developed from October 2007 to the
present.

CNEDA continues to work on the preparation of the third part of the
Conceptual model, aimed at identifying the attributes of three entity types
(records; agent; business) and the attributes of the relationships between
entities.

This Conceptual model will provide the basis for development of NEDA (Normas
Españolas de Descripción Archivística = Spanish Standards of Archival
Description), specifically the data structure and content standards for
descriptions of records, agents and functions (the main objective of NEDA-I
Project).

Any interested person or organization may submit by email to CNEDA
([log in to unmask]) their comments and suggestions on this effort.

Best regards,

Abelardo Santamaria,
Commission on Spanish Standards of Archival Description (CNEDA)
