Abstract

RiC-O Converter is an open source command-line tool to convert EAD finding aids and EAC-CPF authority records to RDF files conforming to ICA Records in Contexts ontology (RiC-O) in a robust manner. It was developed for the Archives nationales of France but is aimed to be reused by other archival institutions, and to this aim is fully documented in English. It is based on XSLT stylesheets that consider the variability of EAD content. It enabled the Archives nationales of France to convert 15,400 EAC-CPF files and 31,000 EAD files into a homogeneous knowledge graph, and to start a more specific project aiming to provide end users with an intuitive search interface for a significant subset of this graph, opening new perspectives for navigating and linking from/to archival metadata.
