Leaders Project已开发了一套开源工具，这些工具可以由档案管理员使用，以创建在线应用程序，其中将档案文档的数字表示形式与相关的上下文信息一起呈现。这些工具使用可扩展的标记语言（XML）技术，并围绕三个众所周知的编码标准构建：编码的档案描述（EAD），编码的档案上下文（EAC）和文本编码计划（TEI）。领导者项目的一个基本方面是作为研究和开发过程的一部分获得用户反馈。为此，已经构建了示威者应用程序，此后已经由代表性的档案用户进行了测试，这些样本的样本参与了有关其优势和劣势的调节讨论。本文介绍了演示者用户测试的结果，并讨论了不同类型的用户对应用程序接口设计，搜索功能和详细显示的反应。希望用户的反馈对未来的实施者有用，作为设计使用领导者工具创建的新在线档案应用程序的指南。
The LEADERS Project has developed a set of open-source tools that can be used by archivists to create online applications where digital representations of archive documents are presented alongside relevant contextual information. These tools use Extensible Markup Language (XML) technologies and are built around three well-known encoding standards: Encoded Archival Description (EAD), Encoded Archival Context (EAC) and the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI). A fundamental aspect of the LEADERS Project has been to gain user feedback as part of the research and development process. To this end, a demonstrator application has been constructed and has since been tested by a representative sample of archive users who took part in moderated discussions on its strengths and weaknesses. This article describes the results from the user testing of the demonstrator and discusses how different types of users reacted to the application's interface design, search functionality and detailed displays. It is hoped that this feedback from users will be useful to future implementers as a guide in the design of new online archive applications created using the LEADERS tools.
