Hi Athena --
Attachments don't come through on the list, so we can't see your diagram. Is it
online somewhere, so you could provide a URL? As it is, I'm not quite sure what
it is you're doing. Are you saying that you want to use EAD to describe these
digital objects, and that the EAD will be ingested by your digital repository
somehow?
If so, could you explain why you've chosen EAD for this? Not that it won't
work, but there are other schemas that were specifically designed for digital
object description (e.g. MODS) that might be a better match.
Or perhaps you're using EAD for your finding aids, and you want to point (or
link) to digital objects stored in your repository?

What is needed is a realization that
power without love is reckless and abusive, and
love without power is sentimental and anemic.
Power at its best is love
implementing the demands of justice, and
justice at its best is power
correcting everything that stands against love.
