<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Many thanks for your helpful reply! In our current data, these structured links are indeed connected to a field that maps to <relatedmaterial> in ArchivesSpace, so that’s indeed the
destination we had in mind.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Your example for embedding ArchivesSpace-internal links via the ArchivesSpace ID for a @href attribute was really helpful and finally made me get it working in the test instance, great!
That’s a useful mechanism, though I fully agree the manual input process is brittle, even with the (limited) “mixed content” completion help. In order to make the most semantic sense, as you exemplified with the <archref> example, our colleagues and volunteers
describing the archives would have to be knowledgeable of XML syntax rules, and the suitable EAD structures for the information they’d want to enter. Yet, even if a new structured resource-to-resource link field would be too far off the implementation horizon,
perhaps a general improvement for adding such internal cross-links in text fields in a more guided way could be of interest. I’ll think about it!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Finally, your data audit remark sounds intriguing and -considering the amount of data cleanup this data migration project has confronted us with- a vital part of best practice. Would
you mind elaborating on that, or pointing me to any available documentation?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Glad to see you reaching out! I’m not sure if others have emailed you regarding this, so I’ll put in my 2 cents worth.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN-US">From what I understand, there is no mechanism within ArchivesSpace that provides a structured “Agents/Related Accessions” type link from one resource to another, nor one archival object to another.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:#1F497D;margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo2">
<span lang="EN-US">Have you considered using the “Related Materials” note (<a href="https://www.loc.gov/ead/tglib/elements/relatedmaterial.html"><relatedmaterial></a>)? The advantage with this is the note is made specifically for related materials either within
the repository or without and you don’t need a full URL, just the ArchivesSpace ID if you’re using the PUI, like so: <archref><unittitle href="/repositories/2/resources/100">Related Collection title</unittitle>. The problem with this is you have to enter the
info by hand, which is error prone (we’ve scheduled a yearly “data audit” to help us catch errors like these).<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="color:#1F497D;margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo2">
<span lang="EN-US">I don’t know of any institution that has developed a <a href="https://github.com/archivesspace/awesome-archivesspace">
plugin</a>, nor is this on the roadmap I think. Nevertheless, you can submit a <a href="https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/ANW/issues/ANW-1334">
JIRA ticket</a> for this feature (<a href="https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/19202060/How+to+Request+a+New+Feature">how to do that linked here</a>) – explaining how you want it to work with as much detail as possible. The Development
Priority Team will then determine if the ArchivesSpace development team or community can/should prioritize it in future releases. The more attention a ticket gets (comments, clarifications, etc.) the more likely it is to be implemented (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlquifRXwmA">great

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This is my first message to this group; apologies if this has been addressed before (tried my best researching the list archive at
<a href="https://www.mail-archive.com/archivesspace_users_group@lyralists.lyrasis.org/">
https://www.mail-archive.com/archivesspace_users_group@lyralists.lyrasis.org/</a>). At my institution, we’re preparing a migration of data from a previous archival description system to ArchivesSpace. The previous system allowed for structured links between
archival descriptions within the system. For example, resource A could point to resource B within the same system by means of a system identifier, which the system would resolve to a full link in the PUI. This is functioning in a similar way as Agents Links
or Related Accessions sections in ArchivesSpace; only with a different record type (resources / archival objects instead of agents, resp. accessions).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t see an immediate equivalent mechanism in ArchivesSpace. This raises some questions:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0cm" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo5"><span lang="EN-US">Am I overlooking the obvious, and
<i>does </i>ArchivesSpace provide a structured mechanism to point from a Resource / Archival Object to another Resource / Archival Object?<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo5"><span lang="EN-US">If not, I do see the External Documents section as a close fit, with the semantic drawback that these linked resources are not really external but rather internal. More substantially,
though, External Documents only allows for a literal URL, which is less elegant, more error-prone, and less sustainable than the dynamically generated links provided via Agent Links or Related Accessions.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list:l1 level1 lfo5"><span lang="EN-US">If not, is this something that’s on a development roadmap, or have others implemented this as a plug-in?<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
