[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Structuring ead subject terms in ead for import

[Custer, Mark]

I really like the approach taken by Michigan for this.  Check out the "Creating Subjects and Agents" section that Dalles Pillen describes: http://archival-integration.blogspot.com/2015/09/the-archivesspace-api.html

In fact, I'd love if this tactic was added to the default ASpace EAD importer/exporter.  The only change I'd suggest would be parking the ArchivesSpace linked record ID (e.g. /subjects/1746/") in an altrender element, just to keep the EAD valid (but still stealthy :)).

p.s. with EAD3, there will be a less hacky way to do this, with part elements.  But even then, using the ASpace IDs in the import/export couldn't hurt during the time that you're using ASpace as your metadata management system.

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Structuring ead subject terms in ead for import

I am looking for a way to import the index terms as part of an ead finding aid where the DACS-compliant -- can be manipulated/replaced in a way that creates a subdivision instead of importing as a single line. (i.e. subject--subdivision1--subdivision2 imports in the same way as if I had created it in ArchivesSpace directly.) Not everything is in marcXML, so that is not an option, and I would like to avoid going back and manually correcting every subject term.

Suggestions?
