The TS-EAS is pleased to announce the completion of the first phase of the revision. Revised schema files and an updated tag library can be found on the EAC-CPF site at: https://eac.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/.

In 2017 the Technical Subcommittee on Encoded Archival Description (TS-EAS) of the Society of American Archivists agreed to undertake a revision of the standard EAC-CPF.

The revision process is following a two-tiered strategy, starting with a technical update that includes minor enhancements and a general clean-up of that standard. The second phase of the revision will be a major overhaul of the standard and a reconciliation with EAD3. The updated schema will be backwards compatible as long as the attribute @accuracy isn’t used and values of @xml:id attributes are unique.

This update solves 15 issues, which can be viewed in full in GitHub. The changes include:
