Good Morning,

      We're in the startup phase of exporting EAD (XML) records from 
Archivists Toolkit into XTF  (eXtensible Tag Framework) for searching 
and display on the web.   We'd like to know about anyone else at MSU 
who is using XTF.

Thanks,

Alice Kalush

About XTF:   (xtf.cdlib.org)

The eXtensible Text Framework (XTF) is a powerful open source 
platform for providing access to digital content. Developed and 
maintained by the California Digital Library (CDL), XTF functions as 
the primary access technology for the CDL's digital collections and 
other digital projects worldwide.

XTF consists of Java and XSLT 2.0 code that indexes, queries, and 
displays digital objects. The software is actively maintained and 
supported by CDL developers and is in use at institutions across the 
world. The XTF source code is based on open source software (e.g., 
Lucene, Saxon) and is itself <http://xtf.cdlib.org/download/>freely 
available for developers to download, install and configure. 
Developers from government agencies, university presses, and other 
cultural heritage institutions such as OCLC are currently 
experimenting with XTF.
