It seems we can all agree there is some confusion on the creation of controlled values that occur when there is an import whether it is marc or ead. I've attached a simple EAD example to import (may not be complete, but does contain some valid examples). This EAD example was exported from our testing area for ArchivesSpace and I've round trip it as a new record. While I don't think we've had any character/UTF8 encoding samples, I wanted to point out some simpler examples (with incorrect enumerations). </div><div><br></div><div>Under the <physdec> -> <extent> -> you will see 1 Linear Feet. Though it is correct in the EAD, on import, it will create a new Linear Feet value instead of using the already existing controlled value of linear_feet. </div><div><br></div><div>Similarly, for containers under <container label="Mixed Materials"> it will create a new enumeration as Mixed Materials instead of mixed_materials.</div><div><br></div><div>Evidently, if this happens for many records you'll see many enumeration values that are not correct under your values when you create a record. We are still under 1.4.2 and cannot speak for the new version.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you,<br clear="all"><div><div class="m_573213938281899313gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:12.8px">Carlos Lemus</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><font size="1">Application Programmer, Special Collections Technical Services</font></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><font size="1">University Libraries, University of Nevada, Las Vegas</font></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><font size="1"><br></font></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:12.3704px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><i>How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth? - Sherlock Holmes</i></span><font size="1"><br></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
