Back in September, Richard Reinhart announced a tool in Filemaker which will produce valid EAD/SGML for the MOA2 project, and noted that Berkely had developed a similar tool for Microsoft Access. Can someone on the list shed light on the status of that Access tool or the testing of the Filemaker tool? Has anyone else on the list attempted the Herculean task of creating a relational database that can produce valid EAD? The reason I ask is that our special collections division would like implement EAD, and is considering options. One of those options is a relational database than can produce valid EAD. They have some container lists in SQL Server (with Access interface on the desktop) that would eventually need to be converted. Any guidance here would be helpful.
