Changes to existing element / attribute

Give the current name of the element / attribute. Include the tag name and the full name. Name: <languageDeclarations>, <languageDeclaration>, <language>, <script>, and <descriptiveNote>

Change in content model (elements)

List all sub-elements and attributes that should be removed from or added to the element's content model.

• In alignment with EAC-CPF and EAD, the plural wrapper element <languageDeclarations> is removed.
• Instead, the singular element <languageDeclaration> becomes an optional and repeatable sub-element of <control>. As such it only can appear after <recordId>, <maintenanceAgency>, <maintenanceHistory> and <sources>.
• Of the sub-elements of <languageDeclaration> only <descriptiveNote> is kept.
• <language> and <script> are removed. The attribute @languageCode of <language> and @scriptCode of <script> are instead both used with <languageDeclaration> directly; @languageCode will be required, @scriptCode will be optional, and both will have the data type NMTOKEN.
• Additionally, <languageDeclaration> will allow for the attributes @audience (0) with values "external" and "internal", @id (0), @languageOfElement(0), @scriptOfElement (0), @target (0), and the option to include attributes from any other namespace.
