Erik, here is an XSLT doc I created for transferring MARCXML to SOLR XML. It has some PHP components in it that just make some of the ugly marc data into something more friendly. It also has some logic based on our data, but is fairly generic. I was hoping that during the preconference we could all discuss this transformation process. I have been working with our metadata librarian on determining which fields should be included and which should be grouped together for indexing and searching processes. However, someone out there might have some better ideas as how to be to transform the data into SOLR. Andrew
