Revised: 29 November 2004
Note: The resources represented here are working drafts of the Ad Hoc EAC Working Group. The drafts are intended to facilitate the development activities of the Working Group and to enable anyone interested in the prototype encoding stardard for describing people to follow the development. The drafts are undergoing constant revision and thus are not to be considered normative or authoritative. For additional information on EAC, see www.library.yale.edu/eac/
Also see the examples below tagged, and rendered.
Below are examples of EAC encoded documents. Each is displayed in two ways: the XML structure hierarchically given; and each presented as it might be viewed. The latter presents the authority data first, as it might be viewed by the public, followed by the control information from the <eacheader>.
Note that in the Shakespeare example, the "authoritative" heading is actually last in the XML source. The stylesheet displays it as the "Used" heading by using the "authorized" attribute.
