Personally, I would take a more bare bones approach: 1. acquire XML 2. learn about its structure 3. use XLST/XPath to distill XML to relational database 4. index content of database with something like Solr 5. use the results of #3 and #4 to create a searchable/browsable Web interface

A lot of good suggestions; if you're looking for fast turnaround without having to decompose and shift the data, it might be worth looking at dedicated XML databases like eXistDB and Basex http://exist-db.org/exist/apps/homepage/index.html https://basex.org/ IIRC, eXist-db has dedicated functiona

There's XML and XML. I suggest that you enquire about the exact format that you're going to be receiving and ask around for systems that support it out of the box. cheers stuart -- ...let us be heard from red core to black sky On Fri, 18 Dec 2020 at 07:37, Pennington, Buddy D. wrote: > > Hi a

My go-to for parsing XML into another format or for creating SQL-ready data would be an XSLT/Python combo. But if you need search, Drupal or Blacklight, as suggested by Eric and Brent, would give you lots of help handling queries. Drupal also supports Solr through its Search API. Richard Higgi

This is a textbook use case for Blacklight + Solr + traject. Blacklight is a toolkit to create a search web app http://projectblacklight.org/ , Solr is the search engine platform https://lucene.apache.org/solr/ and traject can extract the data from the XML and put it into solr: https://github.com/

I imagine you'd want some kind of database that can ingest XML (e.g. postgres) or a CMS app that can create content from it. It's probably overkill but last I used it Drupal could import XML if you set up a content type with a mapping based off of your XML structure. Best, Eric On Thu, Dec 17, 2
