  uvaOKIEAD uvaOKI getAssetDefs(childPid*, parentPid) uvaOKIEAD
  uvaRelationalGDMS uvaRelation getChildDescMeta(childPid*, parentPid*) uvaRelationEAD
      getChildDC(childPid*, parentPid*)  
      viewChildDescMeta(childPid*, parentPid*, style)  
  • Note: getChunk(element) was once described with separate mechanisms dedicated to each of the section categories. 
    • getEntireDoc
    • getTitlePage
    • getAdminInfo
    • getSummaryInfo
    • getScopeContentInfo
    • getBiogHistInfo
    • getComponentInfo

Recommendation:  All current EAD datastreams are consistently encoded and can be handled through a single content model and set of disseminators.
