Does
anyone know of any comparisons (either in report/narrative or table form) of the
various XML indexing approaches (e.g. TEXTML vs XTF vs Lucene vs…)? I’ve seen
side by side comparisons of archival mgmt software, of XML editors, etc, but I
can’t recall seeing anything that laid out the pros and cons of the various XML
indexing options.
Thanks

Subject: EAD website redesign at East Carolina University
East Carolina University is pleased to announce that our
EAD-driven website for Special Collections and University Archives has been
completely redesigned:
http://digital.lib.ecu.edu/special/ead/
This redesign provides enhanced integration with our digital
collections repository, additional browsing options, and advanced search
options that facilitate the construction of complex queries. Just how
complex, you might reasonably wonder? Well, here’s an example, http://bit.ly/cRY2Bs, which performs a search
for the word “outdoor” within 3 words of “theat??” anywhere in the document, as
long as that document has a Library of Congress Subject Heading applied to it
that contains the word “arts” (and, to think, if we didn’t apply that last
condition, our retrieval set would triple in size!).
Any suggestions and comments are welcome. Feedback can
also be provided via the Kampyle feedback form, which is accessible from any
page of the website by clicking on the orange image in the lower right-hand
corner.
