Blue Angel Technologies has a suite of products that were designed to assist different communities in managing their information needs. We've worked with implementations in a number of different communities and profiles including GILS, FDGC, DIF, MARC, Dublin Core, etc. While we are new to this list and have limited knowledge of EAD, our tools may be useful to the community. We would be glad to discuss that possibility with interested parties off-line.

Background: my university's library is considering a pilot project which would result in an EAD-based finding aid, and I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to support making it available on the web. (Key word here is *easiest*.) I've read about the various tools mentioned in Daniel Pitti's January summary posted to the EAD list (see http://www.sil.org/sgml/eadSGML9801.html). -- Is there a cookbook for setting up any of the available SGML tools (DynaText/DynaWeb, Open Text or Isite) to serve out EAD as HTML? Our one experience with SGML server software (OpenText) suggests a steep learning curve. -- Are there any collaborative EAD projects which would permit us to upload our own EAD finding aids and so not have to run an SGML-to-web server ourselves? I'm sure I'll have more questions but this is a start.
