Is there a standard place within EAD to put a link to a local on-line
system number? We are looking ahead to the implementation of our new
on-line catalog, when it should be possible for us not only to link from
it (the collection-level AMC record) to the finding aid, but also vice
versa, from finding aid to collection-level record.  We think this would
be useful for those who enter the system through the finding aids
database, but who might then want to look at the collection-level record
(more than the <abstract> but less that all the finding aid).

Is there a specific tag for this?  We looked, and couldn't find one, nor
did we find a tag that seems obvious to use with, for example, an
ENCODINGANALOG attribute of >035.

Has anyone implemented a finding aid to catalog record "backward" link,
and if so, where did you put it?
