Rachel,

EAD is just a metadata schema, which can be made to be read via html web
pages though xslt, or some scripting that pulls out the relevant field data
and makes it displayed nicer, usually in an HTML wrapper.  So I guess it
would be helpful if you could elaborate on your question a bit more so we
can give you some useful feedback.
