Hi Stephen, This is really interesting. The demo system choked up on me when I tried it this morning, but I'll try it again some other time. I assume that the each system that is to be part of the universal search has to have a database connector installed that is part of this system? What is the connector?
My favorite slide, because it illustrates one of the problems involving taxonomy, is the search for vase, which features a record for a Gibson guitar. But this looks like you are inches away from being able to create a PastPerfect Consortium.
