2021-11-11 Metadata meeting notes

Is this the final version, at the top of this page: 2019-2020 Metadata Standards sub-team Work Plan?

Is there any documentation, like why something is in tier 1 versus tier 2? If we publish this, I suggest we include a bit more about how these tiers are decided.

I recall a decision that this go on GitHub. Where exactly?

<ref> elements are not currently repeatable in a single index note in AS.  It is repeatable in both EAD2002 and EAD3, but it needs to be nested within a <ptrgrp> wrapper when repeated.  I spoke to Mark Custer at Yale about this and he thinks we should support it in AS because the workaround requires repeating index entries (e.g. an indexentry with a ptrgrp and 5 refs becomes 5 index entries, all with the same name heading).

Addressing this ticket means: within the index, allow the reference and the reference text for each item within an index note to repeat.  Amending the EAD3 and EAD2002 import/export to create multiple references for each index item when <ptrgrp> is present within <indexentry>. 

Not sure on priority, but absolutely think this is something that needs to be supported since it’s supported in both EAD3 and EAD2002 and we know of people having to develop workarounds.
