Roy,

The Focus article was written for a general audience.  After a 
soon-to-be-completed web makeover (which is really more like 
reconstructive than cosmetic surgery), we will have a METS area on our web 
site, where we can hang more detailed information on our METS-related 
activities, the viewer, etc.  So...

Watch this space.

Merrilee

Merrilee,
Can we get more technical details than the article offers? Are you 
using XSLT to transform the METS record to HTML and Javascript, or is 
there something more going on -- the article makes it sound as if that 
is just one step, and that there is another piece of software -- the 
"viewer" -- involved. If so, what is it? Also, is your viewer capable 
of displaying an arbitrary METS object? I'd like to play with it, but 
apparently we don't subscribe to Cultural Materials. At least I was 
prompted for a password I don't have. Thank you for any details you can 
provide.
Roy
