The Encoded Archival Description (EAD) is a standard for encoding archival finding aids in XML. Agile Image Movers is developing a tool to aid in the conversion of textual documents to EAD files.

The Ead Conversion Java Web Start application is a proof of concept tool for converting a document describing the container list of a collection into an EAD XML document. It handles the necessary relationship between folders and boxes, and computes all of the containers used by each logical level of the collection.

What's New:
Added an option to generate a single container rather than Parent/ID attributes.
Added a workaround to a bug in Java 1.4.2 which resulted in many input lines being ignored.

Requirements:
Java 1.3 plugin.
