Abstract

This paper describes the development of a collaborative work environment based on XML standards (EAD and EAC-CPF) for the management and publication of finding aids and documents from the personal holdings of the Spanish engineer Carlos Fernández Casado. This project has been completed by a research team from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid led by Ricardo Eito Brun and Antonio Perianes for Centro de Estudios Históricos de Obras Públicas y Urbanismo (CEHOPU), an institution that depends on the Ministerio de Fomento de España. As part of the technical solution, the research team has developed an editing tool for the creation of EAD finding aids compatible with ISAD(G) and EAC-CPF authority and context records compatible with ISAAR(CPF). The work environment also incorporates additional functions to access local and remote controlled vocabularies and thesauri, as well as the capability of linking digital objects to the finding aids and publishing them through the Web.
