Browsing for a schema

Occasionally the LOC schema page is down and isn't working as usual. Xmetal will ask you browse for a schema. We keep a local version of the file on the network for this purpose.

...

The file is located here: 

Do the following:

  1. Open your ead document as usual
  2. XMetal will give you a message that you need to browse for a schema or rules file
  3. Click okay for this option and follow the following path*:

Harvard University

MANUSCRIPTS XML

new 2009 schema

LCXlink schema

ead.xsd


*If your Sharepoint is configured differently and this path does not work on your computer, you may want to download a copy of the EAD schema (ead.xsd) and keep it in a folder that you can easily find when you browse, such as your desktop.
