MOA2 work that I wrote about on Friday.

I'm focusing on converting materials in the MOA2 XML format to an IMS format today.  I will report back later this afternoon.

(5:30pm)  A few hours later:

I have been continuing the MOA2 work that I wrote about on Friday.  Specifically, I spent this afternoon learning more about XSL through writing a XSLT stylesheet to do a very simple rendition of MOA2 (Making of America II) objects. The Making of America II  is a Digital Library Federation project to create a proposed digital library object standard by encoding defined descriptive, administrative and structural metadata, along with the primary content, inside a digital library object.  There are some sample objects encoded in the MOA2 standard. 

I've been interested in first learning ("grokking") the standard so that I learn how to convert MOA2 objects into other formats -- and vice versa.  It's also been a good opportunity to dig into XML technology, specifically XSLT.
