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
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.
