Dear Ruth and Michele,
Thank you very much for your answers. I meant to ask about IT tool created
to validate EAD xml file against validation rules stated in tag library. For
example, for structured set of records with xml backbone for medicinal
products approval, there are several IT tools-validators that validate
submissions against validation rules such are presence of elements, name
conventions etc. It is a mix between technical and content
validation.(Example from my work domain, I work in Croatian version of Food
and drugs administration as their archivist). Another example from my work
environment - records digitised for us by a third party come with xml files
used for transfer of metadata into attributes of records after ingest. We
are using FileNet based EDRM system. If xml files are not valid (eg. wrong
elements according to xml schema), validation function in ingest process
moves packages into SIPerror folder for correction.
So, there are no validator tool similar to my examples. I'm working on
computer generated EAD description from database of my institution (sort of
archival management system) and I created for developers of that database
and application example of EAD xml file with mapping of elements and
database attributes. (Well...it is almost done). I followed EAD3 tag library
(for structure and parent-child element related rules).
Thank you very much for a good advice - I'll use EAD Round-table
guidelines for additional check of validity before development of EAD
creation functionality
(https://github.com/saa-ead-roundtable/ead3-toolkit#validating-your-ead-file).
Kind regards,
Arian
