[Archivesspace_Users_Group] FW: EAD ingest default values

Wed Apr 29 15:04:36 EDT 2015

Hi Kate,
I think that might be  a default if you don't give a label. I did a test
import using this and I get the correct type (graphic materials not mixed):

<c id="aspace_5733ab6628a47b738fb094146d63d983"
level="item"><did><unittitle>Test Item</unittitle><unitdate
type="inclusive">1999</unitdate><container
id="aspace_8bd0595ac9233574468b6b5fa624699f" label="Graphic Materials"
type="Box">1</container><container
id="aspace_20b2e63b85aafa57536961de690bb8a8"
parent="aspace_8bd0595ac9233574468b6b5fa624699f"
type="Folder">2</container></did><odd
id="aspace_e09ce5eff5c0ef0acdfa6a11ddd8da27"><head>Subtitle</head><p>pizza
is good</p></odd></c>

The only thing I did have to do is merge in the controlled value list
"graphic materials" and "Graphic Materials" so that the label was not
entirely lower case.

Hope that helps.
