Personally, I would take a more bare bones approach:
1. acquire XML
2. learn about its structure
3. use XLST/XPath to distill XML to relational database
4. index content of database with something like Solr
5. use the results of #3 and #4 to create a searchable/browsable Web interface
6. for extra credit, add functionality to the Web interface which goes beyond search
7. go to Step #1; library work is never done
Put another way, I would stay away from some sort of "solution", because y'all will invariably: 1) spend a whole lot of time learning how to install, customize, and use the solution, and 2) spend a whole lot of time maintaining the solution.
