I know there has been some discussion related to this about making EAD available as part of the discovery layer, but I'm interested in getting a sense of which institutions are using Solr [0] to index EAD. At this point, I'm more interested in discussing the different indexing strategies from a technical standpoint rather than focusing too much on the discovery layer. For what it's worth, this discussion began [1] when some folks were talking about incorporating EAD into a Solr index to be used by Blacklight [2], an open source discovery layer. If your institution is using Solr to index EAD, can you briefly describe your indexing process? I would be interested in coordinating future work, or potentially developing a set of recommendations/best practices to share with the community.
