Fellow EADers- The Ryerson and Burnham Archives at the Art Institute of Chicago is researching software solutions to deliver our EAD 2002 finding aids in both native XML and transformed HTML, with good searching/indexing functionality. We've looked through the EAD implementor write-ups online, but since they're not dated, it's hard to tell what's most current, especially for those of us running on a Mac OS X (BSDUnix) platform. We've also searched the EAD listerv archives without a great deal of luck. Our hardware will be an Apple Xserve G4, running MacOS X Server (unlimited licensing) with Apache for web services. If anyone has any suggestions about the best delivery and indexing software to use for this platform, we'd be very grateful for your opinions. Ideas about the most efficient way to offer transformed HTML in this environment are also welcome. Keep in mind that we have limited technical support and not a lot of time for in-depth programming on our end, so solutions that are close to running out-of-the-box are ideal.
