Subject: EAD XForms
I have developed a form based on the XForm
concept using the EAD standard. The form enables my staff (primarily
student workers) to create EAD finding aids without ever seeing the XML
markup. They do the majority of the inputting, save the file, and then
inform me via a brief report. I then open the file in my XML editor, view
the full markup, perform a little clean up, transform the XML into html, and
post it on my website. My work generally takes no more than 10 – 30
minutes.
Has anyone else created anything along
these lines?
If anyone is interested, I’m willing
to share the form / program. The form I created and the software needed
to run it is all free. In its current iteration, the form isn’t
real pretty, but it works.
