We are very pleased to hear this.
I take this occasion to announce that we also are going to public the
results of our work that will allow people to navigate throuhg a
database-stored inventory converting the information on database tables into
one or more EAD documents linked together by hypertextual links.
This tool allow us to extract information about archival descriptions in a
way completely independent from the data model, the database management
system and the platform where your data is stored. It is based on the
ISAD(G) standard.
These results are not only intended to allow navigation, but to extract
archival repository information for any purpose you need.
