# Archival metadata standards
## Common standards
Archives are frequently described using these [Standards](https://www2.archivists.org/standards):
* [DACS (Describing Archives: A Content Standard): Description of archive on multiple levels of detail.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Describing_Archives:_A_Content_Standard), see in particular [Relation to Other Standards](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Describing_Archives:_A_Content_Standard#Relation_to_Other_Standards)
* [ISAD(G) (General International Standard Archival Description)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISAD(G))
* [EAD (Encoded Archival Description)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encoded_Archival_Description); current version: EAD3
* [EAC-CPF Encoded Archival Context](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encoded_Archival_Context) - for describing corporate bodies, persons, and families, maintained by Society of American Archivists and [Berliner Staatsbibliothek](https://eac.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de) is a standard for encoding contextual information about persons, corporate bodies, and families related to archival materials using Extensible Markup Language [(XML)](https://eac.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/schema/v2/eac.html); can be used on its own, or as extension to others. (Probably less relevant to us.)
## Notes
* DACS requires a minimum of descriptive fields, out of 25 in total; own fields can be added
* DACS can be exported to EAD or MARC21
* EAC-CPF seems to be frequentyl use in German-speakng areasscheint im deutschen Sprachraum häufig verwendet zu werden (für Organisationen, Personen, Familien); in v2.0 (2018) it was aligned to EAD
