Get something going for METS and you'll have me pushing your tool all over!!! As it is I catalog our records and use YazProxy to pull them out in DC & MODS & MARCXML so the form I use is really just the one built into my cataloging module.

As a fairly small operation simplifying (eliminating the need for xml knowledge) metadata creation was one of the top priorities for me in getting our project off the ground. Although the XForms still are a little lumpy, I've had a huge amount of sucess in using them to create both Dublin Core and MODS records, and I'd love to have one for METS but don't. And Xforms can be used with most any digital asset management system. I would love to see libraries working on some standardized forms that can be shared.
