About EAD

EAD stands for Encoded Archival Description, and is a non-proprietary de facto standard for the encoding of finding aids for use in a networked (online) environment. Finding aids are inventories, indexes, or guides that are created by archival and manuscript repositories to provide information about specific collections. While the finding aids may vary somewhat in style, their common purpose is to provide detailed description of the content and intellectual organization of collections of archival materials. EAD allows the standardization of collection information in finding aids within and across repositories.

: Many researchers argue that modern toiletscapes are "overwhelmingly ableist". A feature could explore how inaccessible design affects the personhood of individuals with disabilities.

: An introduction to why restrooms are one of the most fundamental spaces where human life is "acted out".

: A look at smart technologies and urban planning initiatives aimed at making these spaces more inclusive and sanitary.

: The role of on-street public toilets is critical for the safety and inclusion of women and transgender people.

To prepare a feature based on , we can focus on the evolving concept of the " toiletscape "—a term used by scholars to describe the physical and social landscape of public restrooms and how they impact human experience .

: Access to toilets is linked to "embodied citizenship," where the design of these spaces can either foster a sense of belonging or produce "hidden inequalities" for certain groups. Key Themes for Exploration

: Modern additions to the toiletscape include "self-cleaning" technologies, such as the Acticlean system , which uses automated cleaning cycles to maintain hygiene. Potential Structure for your Feature

: A section on how "locked" or poorly maintained facilities exclude people from full participation in public life.

Scope

The EAD ODD is a XML-TEI document made up of three main parts. The first one is, like any other TEI document, the teiHeader, that comprises the metadata of the specification document. Here we state, among others pieces of information, the sources used to create the specification document in a sourceDesc element. Our two sources are the EAD Tag Library and the RelaxNG XML schema, both published on the Library of Congress website. The second part of the document is a presentation of our method (the foreword) with an introduction to the EAD standard and a description of the structure of the document. This part contains some text extracted from the introduction of the EAD Tag Library. The third part is the schema specification itself : the list of EAD elements and attributes and the way they relate to each others.
