Notes

  • This table maps each RAD element to the corresponding Qubit fields used for data-entry input and output views
  • Note that Qubit does not directly import or export RAD descriptions. This is done via EAD, MARC21 or other exchange standard mapping.
  • Repeating indicates that a RAD element can contain multiple values.
  • RAD-specific taxonomies (value lists) are described in the Taxonomies section.
