I’ve noticed that when there are multiple <unitid>’s in EAD, the last one overwrites previous ones so the last value is the one imported. In our cases, if there are multiple <unitid>’s, the first one is always the primary one. Other identifiers may into other
systems may be added after the primary one. I would expect this to be the natural order — does this conflict with anyone else’s experience ? ( Does anyone *want* the last value to override initial value? ) <o:p class=""></o:p></div>

The other changes import additional <unitid>’s as external_ids IF they have a @type attribute. @type will be mapped to external_id.source. On export, external_ids are exported as unitid with @type=external_id.source. <o:p class=""></o:p></div>

( This could be changed, as I don’t believe external_id has any *required* attributes: In our use cases, it didn’t seem to make much sense to keep an external id without an indicator of what system it’s an id into. ) <o:p class=""></o:p></div>

I believe that initially the external ids were mostly used for mapping conversions from Archon and AT. <o:p class=""></o:p></div>

We have a strong need to link ArchivesSpace resources to resources in other systems. I would guess that this is a pretty widely shared requirement. ( Was hiding them a way of keeping users from editing them because Archon/AT migration depended on them ? ) <o:p class=""></o:p></div>
