EAD, or Encoded Archival Description, has been in my life for a couple of years now. During grad school, I did a lot of experimenting with converting the hierarchical, tag-based XML data of EAD into tabular data. One of the outputs of this was a paper in which I visualized metadata from a Smithsonian Folk Life archival collection as a spatial network, and analyzed the geographical spread of various genre tags assigned to audio recordings.
