I've found this thread very helpful (and heartening). At UVM most of our metadata work is now being done through XForms, and we are just moving over to Orbeon. We have a fairly complete form for MODS records and a form for METS creation in the works, but we also handle EAD and TEI records and as yet have very little online support for their creation. We run our site on eXist and Solr, submitting to both via XForms. I'm particularly interested in Chris's example of the autosuggest as we have been struggling with the best way to manage authority data, and would love to be able to tie it into external services if possible. I have found that the larger forms tend to be rather slow to render and does make me cautious about how complex we can make our forms. Anyone else having performance issues with Orbeon? -Winona ---------------------------------- Digital Initiatives Librarian The University of Vermont [log in to unmask]
