<c> is a wrapper element found within <dsc>, and which may be nested within another <c> element. Each <c> element identified an intellectually logical section of described materials, which need not coincide with the physical sections. Not every <c> corresponds to directly to a folder, etc. It may simply be a hierarchical stage.
<c> may have levels assigned through the @level or @otherlevel attribute, as seen in the attributes section below. Nesting <c> may also be done as <c01> to <c12>, to help a manual encoder track levels more easily and preserve the code’s structure or to help the transformation sheet handle components differently.
Attributes
- @altrender – not required. Use if the content of the element should be displayed or printed differently than the rendering established in a style sheet for other occurrences of the element.
- @audience – not required. Use to set whether the element’s contents will be visible to external users or to internal ones. Possible values are: “internal” and “external.”
- @base – not required. May contain a URI to create a base URI used to resolve any relative URIs used within the child elements, if the base URI differs from the base URI of the EAD instance.
- @encodinganalog – not required. May contain information to map this tag to a particular element in another schema.
- @id – not required. Creates an ID for element. Can be used for linking.
- @lang – not required. Three-letter code that indicates the language in which the element’s contents were written. It should come from ISO 639-2b.
- @level – not required. The values of this attribute may be: class, collection, file, fonds, item, otherlevel, recordgrp, series, subfonds, subgrp, and subseries. For any other value of @level (such as from a locally-assigned vocabulary) choose “otherlevel” as the value, and specify name in @otherlevel attribute. Assigning an attribute to the highest-level <c> is highly-recommended.
- @otherlevel – not required. If the designated value options for @level do not fit the repository needs, “otherlevel” should be used as the value for @level and the alternate term should be specified here.
- @script – not required. Four-letter code that indicates the script in which the element’s contents were written. It should come from ISO 15924.
Child Elements
<c> must have a <did> element and may contain further <c> elements, as well as optional <accessrestrict>, <accruals>, <acqinfo>, <altformavail>, <appraisal>, <arrangement>, <bibliography>, <bioghist>, <controlaccess>, <custodhist>, <fileplan>, <head>, <index>, <legalstatus>, <odd>, <originalsloc>, <otherfindaid>, <phystech>, <prefercite>, <processinfo>, <relatedmaterial>, <relations>, <scopecontent>, <separatedmaterial>, <thead>, and <userestrict>. Note, since text is not used within this element, it serves as a wrapper.
DACS
Use DACS Section 1. Level of description for the @level attribute. (DACS 2013, pp.7-11)

Changes from EAD 2002
<c> lost the attribute @tpattern and gained @lang and @script. It lost <dao> and dao-related elements and the deprecated <note>. It gained <relations> and <legalstatus>.
