Functionality

The RAMP editor is built around two metadata formats used primarily by archivists: Encoded Archival Description (EAD) and Encoded Archival Context–Corporate Bodies, Persons, and Families (EAC-CPF). Whereas EAD is used to encode information about collections themselves, EAC-CPF is used to encode information about their social context: the people, organizations, and families represented in archival collections.

The RAMP editor leverages EAC-CPF as a data exchange format, letting users take existing metadata, enhance it, and then republish it to the English Wikipedia through its API.
