Hello

We might be interested to use DDI to describe the databases we have to
archive. Our description must be compatible to ISAD(G) (=3D General
International Standard Archival Description 2nd Ed.) or EAD =
respectively. (A
subset of our data must be integrated into the finding system, based on
ISAD(G)). Theoretically this seems possible, because both of the =
standards
can be mapped on MARC-fields. Has anyone already studied this question?

Sincerely Thomas
