Thanks for posting this announcement David. It is very interesting how you are automatically sending XML or HTML depending upon the browser the requester is using. Also, thanks for including links to your style sheets...I found it really fascinating to alter one of my EAD XML documents so that it pointed to your style sheet <http://cidc.library.cornell.edu/xml/styles/style.xsl>, and voila all the information in our finding aid is presented like yours! Perhaps I missed this information in your technical notes, but are you generating the HTML for non IE5 browsers on the fly, or are they static pages? Also, have you automated the XML -> HTML conversion process?

This allows users to access our finding aids from all web browsers, xml capable or not, and also relieves us from creating static html files and then worrying about version control. We're doing this from an MS IIS web server, using a fairly simple asp script. Included at our site <http://cidc.library.cornell.edu/xml> is information on how it works, as well as an explanation of how we're delivering the xml, together with examples of all our xsl style sheets. We'd be especially interested to hear if you experience problems accessing our example finding aids, with any browser. ________________________________________________________________ David Ruddy [log in to unmask] Cornell Institute for Digital Collections 607-255-3530 ------------------------------
