+ | '''Page organization''' | ||
+ | |||
+ | This page has been divided first by type and then by release. | ||
+ | |||
+ | If there are no changes to the CSV templates for a major release, a link or section will not be included - you can then use the templates from the previous release. Be sure to review the CSV import documentation in the AtoM [https://accesstomemory.org/docs User manual] for your release. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Archival descriptions== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Below you'll find copies of the CSV template examples for archival descriptions, organized by each major release. A change log is included so that you can quickly determine what has changed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | At this time, we provide templates for the ISAD(G) and RAD descriptive templates in AtoM. If you are using a different content standard (e.g. DACS, DC, or MODS), we recommend using the ISAD(G) template and ignoring any fields that do not crosswalk. Information about crosswalk mappings can be found in the Data Entry / Templates section of the AtoM [https://accesstomemory.org/docs User manual.] | ||

We have overhauled the CSV import templates, merging the alias fields into the primary template, revising the relationships CSV, and adding support for importing relationships via the user interface. Users can also add relationships to existing authority records - previously, the relationships CSV could only be imported at the same time as new data in the primary authority record template, using the CSV import command-line task. We've also added the ability to link digital objects to authority records via CSV import and we fixed a bug where new entity types (or a mismatch in capitalization for existing entity types) would cause a CSV import to fail. | ||

See issue #13277 | ||
+ | * Include digital objects on CSV import and export templates. Since release 2.5 authority records can be linked to a digital object (e.g. a profile picture of the authority record subject). These can be imported on the CSV template using a local file path (<code>digitalObjectPath</code>) or an external URI (<code>digitalOjbectURI</code>). Any linked digital objects are included on CSV export as a URI to the AtoM path for the digital object. See issue #13249 | ||
+ | * Overhaul the Relationships CSV template. Rename <code>source</code> and <code>target</code> columns to <code>subjectAuthorizedFormOfName</code> and <code>objectAuthorizedFormOfName</code>. Replace <code>category</code> column with <code>relationType</code> and support use of bi-directional relationship terms (e.g. "controls" / "is controlled by") as values. See issue #13279 | ||

On this page you will find copies of the CSV templates we provide for use when importing data into AtoM. As the CSV files change over versions, we will add sections, so that you can be sure you are using the right template for your AtoM installation.
For more information on CSV import, see the Import/Export section of our User manual. Links directly to each major release's CSV import documentation are included in the relevant sections below.
Tip
Did you know you can also find all the CSV import templates inside AtoM? They are located in lib/task/import/example
.

Migrating data to AtoM? Check out the CSV transformation page for information on transformation scripting!
Page organization
This page has been divided first by type and then by release.
If there are no changes to the CSV templates for a major release, a link or section will not be included - you can then use the templates from the previous release. Be sure to review the CSV import documentation in the AtoM User manual for your release.
Contents
Archival descriptions
Below you'll find copies of the CSV template examples for archival descriptions, organized by each major release. A change log is included so that you can quickly determine what has changed.
At this time, we provide templates for the ISAD(G) and RAD descriptive templates in AtoM. If you are using a different content standard (e.g. DACS, DC, or MODS), we recommend using the ISAD(G) template and ignoring any fields that do not crosswalk. Information about crosswalk mappings can be found in the Data Entry / Templates section of the AtoM User manual.
AtoM 2.8 CSV templates
Important
There have been no changes to the columns in these updated templates. Instead, the sample data has been updated to include references to the relevant standard element, and columns previously not included in the examples have been added. You can still use the 2.3 templates with AtoM 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, and 2.8 however!
Change log
- Updated image URLs to point to valid images in CSVs. See issue #1781

AtoM 2.6 CSV templates
Important
There have been no changes to the columns in these updated templates. Instead, the sample data has been updated to include references to the relevant standard element, and columns previously not included in the examples have been added.

AtoM 2.3 CSV templates
Important
The AtoM 2.3 release includes CSV export functionality. During roundtrip testing, it was discovered that events which were not "creation" were not properly roundtripping (e.g. exporting and re-importing properly). Consequently, to better support users importing and exporting data about events and actors who are not creators (but might be accumulators, manufacturers, broadcasters, etc), major changes have been made to the 2.3 CSV template relating to actors and events. This means that 2.2 and earlier CSV templates may no longer import properly. Please see the 2.3 CSV import documentation for further guidance.

AtoM 2.0.0 and earlier CSV templates
The following CSV templates should work for AtoM 2.0.0, 2.0.1, and 2.0.2, as well as any previous ICA-AtoM release that supports CSV import.
Templates
Deaccession records
Below you'll find copies of the CSV template examples for deaccession records, organized by each major release. A change log is included so that you can quickly determine what has changed. The ability to import deaccession records via CSV was first introduced in the AtoM 2.5 release.
Templates
Authority records
In AtoM, there are 2 CSV templates for importing authority records - a primary template, as well as one optional secondary template to add relationships between actors (the Relationships CSV).
AtoM 2.6 CSV templates
Prior to 2.6, alternative forms of name could only be imported via a separate CSV imported at the same time as new authority record data in the primary template, using the CSV import command-line task. We have overhauled the CSV import templates, merging the alias fields into the primary template, revising the relationships CSV, and adding support for importing relationships via the user interface. Users can also add relationships to existing authority records - previously, the relationships CSV could only be imported at the same time as new data in the primary authority record template, using the CSV import command-line task. We've also added the ability to link digital objects to authority records via CSV import and we fixed a bug where new entity types (or a mismatch in capitalization for existing entity types) would cause a CSV import to fail.
Important
The alias CSV template has been deprecated and the relationships CSV has been significantly overhauled. Be sure to use the latest templates when importing data into a 2.6 AtoM installation!
Change log
- Deprecate the Aliases CSV template. Merge the alias CSV fields into the primary authority record CSV template - add new multi-value columns for
parallelNames
,standardizedNames
, andotherFormsOfName
to the primary authority record CSV template. See issue #13277 - Include digital objects on CSV import and export templates. Since release 2.5 authority records can be linked to a digital object (e.g. a profile picture of the authority record subject). These can be imported on the CSV template using a local file path (
digitalObjectPath
) or an external URI (digitalOjbectURI
). Any linked digital objects are included on CSV export as a URI to the AtoM path for the digital object. See issue #13249 - Overhaul the Relationships CSV template. Rename
source
andtarget
columns tosubjectAuthorizedFormOfName
andobjectAuthorizedFormOfName
. Replacecategory
column withrelationType
and support use of bi-directional relationship terms (e.g. "controls" / "is controlled by") as values. See issue #13279 - Allow the Relationships CSV to be used to add relationships between existing authority records. See issue #13280
- Add support for importing relationships via the user interface. See issue #13286
- Fix issue with new entity types or variations in capitalization for existing entity type names causing the import to fail. See issue #13295
- Update the sample data in the authority record example template to reference related ISAAR-CPF standard element numbers wherever possible

Digital objects
It is possible to link digital objects to existing descriptions using a CSV template, but we do not provide an example template because the format is very simple. For further information, please see the relevant section in the CSV import documentation:
