<p class="MsoNormal">Is it possible to import an EAD component that is comprised of multiple parent-level top containers and have ASpace create two sibling top container instances? Currently it seems ASpace will create a single instance with one top container
for the <container> positioned first, then create children/grandchildren for each subsequently positioned <container> in that single instance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a container attribute/semantics I could add to define this parallel logical relationship that would force ASpace to create two instances each with a top container? Or does the EAD importer as a general use tool assume most content
is of a type parent/child?<o:p></o:p></p>
