Default entity types

Schema: EAC-CPF 2.0

Context: Encoding the type of agent being described in an EAC-CPF instance

Description: Following the chapter 5.1.1 Type of entity in the International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons, and Families (ISAAR-CPF), EAC-CPF includes the element <entityType> within the <identity> section to define whether the entity being described is an organization of some kind, a person, or a family. Meant to provide a standardized anchor supporting interoperability across variations of local applications of EAC-CPF, <entityType> itself cannot have text, but requires the attribute @value to be used with either “corporateBody”, or “person”, or “family”. These three types are designed to be mutually exclusive, so that <entityType> also cannot be repeated.
