Hi, I'm brazilian and I'm just begining to learn about EAD. In Brazil we do not have tradition using EAD. I apologize in advance if my questions are too elementary. I intend to use EAD DTD to encode a finding aid � kind of a general inventory of fonds an archival institution, I mean a general list of the fonds of the archives, that ISAD(G) calls a first level description. To encode my document, I have to create an <archdesc> element and a sequence of <c>. Both <archdesc> and <c> have the LEVEL attribute. In this case, the EAD Application Guidelines states that the LEVEL attribute for <archdesc> has to apply to the highest level in the hierarchy and the same attribute for <c> has to designate the following levels, the parts of the whole. The problem is: being the document to codify a list of fonds d�archives, each one described separately, it seems logical to set the level attribute of <c> as LEVEL="fonds". My doubt is how to configure the level attribute of <archdesc>. The doubt comes from the fact that a content for "level" does not exist that relates to the totality of the fonds d�archives of an archival institution. In the case of an inventory of the Archives, the "level" attributes of the parts (<c>) must be filled with the expression "fonds". But and the "level" attribute of the set, or either, of <archdesc>? How it must be filled? I must use "otherlevel"? In the case to use "otherlevel", does it exist some content or standardized expression, that I could use to denote the complete set of fonds belonging to the Archives? Thanks, Jos� Guilherme
