Hi Jay, I haven't worked with born digital collections per se, but have worked with numerous theoretical applications of EAD outside the traditional archival finding aid context. I think in your case, you should conceive of the components within the <dsc> as a conceptual organization. Your <archdesc> describes your collection. Your top level <c> elements describe series. Series contain subseries (if applicable). Subseries contain items. EAD is easily adaptable to describing collections of images or electronic documents. Box/Folder is simply a container. It makes more sense, from the standpoint of a patron, to browse a collection that is organized on semantic concepts rather than literal physical containers, especially for one that is born digital. I would suggest sticking to the EAD 2002 schema for the project.
