This is really big news. Congratulations are due first and foremost.
A couple of initial questions:
Is this using Solr 1.4 or 3.x?
After a cursory look at the documentation for the DSC, the examples have a
title that also includes the date values, etc. Is there a way to add
additional elements at the dsc/c levels, such as unitdate, scopecontent,
etc.?
I see that the Archer site is using Google Analytics. Have you thought
about integrating the Google Analytics API into EADitor so that a stats page
could be available to both staff and public? I'm not sure how feasible this
would be with all of the steps involved, but I imagine that it should be
possible with the Google Analytics Core Reporting API, Version 3.0
Including the integration with Flickr, Geonames, LCSH and everything else is
really slick. If there's not already an annual EAD award, one should be
created just for this project. It's really that cool.
Thanks for sharing it,
Mark
