Yes, it is possible. At SFMOMA, we're exporting XML from EmbARK and importing it into our web CMS. We worked with Gallery Systems on defining which metadata fields we wanted in the XML and then worked with our CMS consultants on setting up a process for importing the XML.
The process has its quirks (it's not automated, for one) but it works and it allows us to serve our collection through our web CMS instead of a separate system over which we'd have less control (Embark Web Kiosk, for example). I'd be happy to share one of our XML files or more details. Dana ......................................

Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks in advance.
