it was built (<a href="https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Farchivesspace.org%2Fapplication%2Fspecifications%2F&data=02%7C01%7Csustasiula%40pa.gov%7C04db1a09ad404b5743eb08d53736ed8e%7C418e284101284dd59b6c47fc5a9a1bde%7C1%7C0%7C636475631417818282&sdata=AAtFRFsdpuI8UQ8DH14Qvza1BvOBaeUY%2Btpk62m%2FfiU%3D&reserved=0">http://archivesspace.org/application/specifications/</a>),

<br>
The ArchivesSpace User Advisory Council Reports Sub-team is working on a data dictionary. As we are building this document, we are soliciting feedback from the community to ensure a usable, value-added product. In that spirit, do you have a specific use case
for a data dictionary? What elements would you like to see in a data dictionary?<br>
<br>
If you have suggestions, please feel free to respond to the list or to me directly.<br>

I appreciate your feedback!<br>

All the best,<br>
