Hi Steve,
Thanks for a full reply.
We actually do combine date within enterprises, including from their ILS
and subscription Sources (article databases), and internal repositories.
Of course we claim we do it well - and I think we do. A library
background will enable you to face almost any shape

For our purposes (federated search) it would be most useful to have as many of

And second the request that some simple
For our fed search service we very much echo Jonathan's real-time

interest):

Hi Graham,
What we do in our federated search system, and have been doing for some few
years, is basically give the designer a choice of what options the user gets
for de-duped records.
Firstly de-duping can be of a number of levels of sophistication, and a many of

We cried our eyes out in 1976 when this first came to our attention at the BL.
Even more crying when we couldn't get rid of it in the MARC-I to MARC-II
