EAD 2002: Finding Aid Delivery using Native XML Technologies

next | up | prev

Workflow Summary

In the method just described, we've:

Created a finding aid in Microsoft Word
Cut and pasted the front matter into a Web form to produce EAD markup from it
Lightly marked up the inventory and ran a program against it to produce the rest of the EAD markup
Put the two together and validate
Stripped the light markup from the Word document
Printed it for binding and shelving

Is there a better way? We'll consider a different way later.
