Link to relevant DACS principle

Describe how DACS does not currently meet this principle
DACS should reinforce this idea of archival description being a continuous process but the idea of review and revision and the documentation of that review and revision is currently more of an afterthought. Section 5.4 Accruals covers anticipated additions to the materials. Other than that, the main place where these changes can be documented is in Section 7.1 Notes. This note is not a required field and is buried at the end of Part I.

I expect that this will require a

- [ X] Major change to DACS
