  1. Hierarchy of functions, sub-functions, activities I suggest to notice hierarchical interdependences between functions,
    sub-functions and activities, for instance through an “includes/is included
    in” relationship. At first I thought you should not integrate hierarchical
    relationship descriptions of functions into EAD but link to an EAC record
    through a <relation> element. But then I saw that the type of relationship
    would not become clear so. You could hardly recognize from the following
    description that “Research Management” is an activity (or a group of
    activities) that is included in the function called “Research”. ` <function … type=”activity” … role=”creator” …> Research Management

    Research `

However, it does not seem to be the best solution, but I could not find a
better one in the EAD library, unfortunately.

Description of hierarchy of functions is out of scope for EAD3.

No action required.
