EAD validation

Two validators have been customized for use by grant participants to ensure compliance with the best practice guidelines.

1. The UMA EAD Report Card
   • This validator is a customized version of the original RLG Report Card.
   • It is available on-line through a Web interface.
   • It only works with finding aids encoded in the EAD 2002 DTD, requiring conversion to the EAD schema following validation and error correction.

1. The UMA BPGilyzer
   • This validator is a Windows-based desktop application, customized from the University of California tool.
   • It must be downloaded and installed to be used.
   • It works with EAD documents encoded in either the EAD 2002 DTD or the EAD 2002 Schema.
