Thanks, Matt. The RDF here uses BIBO and DC, and is therefore
definitely lossy. I'm not saying that's a bad thing -- loss from MARC
may well be the only way to save library metadata. What I would be
interested in learning is how one decides WHAT to lose. Im also
curious to know if any

If I have in my PHP script a variable...
$searchterm = 'Drawing';
And I want to update 'Drawing' to be 'Cooking' w/ a jQuery hover effect on
the client side then I need to make an Ajax request, correct?
What I can't figure out is what that is supposed to look like... something
like...
$.ajax({
I'm not sure what you're trying to do makes sense.
You'd have to write some PHP code to receive the AJAX request and use it
to update the variable. There's nothing in PHP that will do this
automatically.
However, since, I believe, PHP variables are usually only 'in scope' for
the context of

What you probably want to do here, Nate, is simply output the PHP variable in
your HTML response, like this:
h1 id=foo?php echo $searchterm ?/h1

I can't tell what you are requesting via Ajax;
I am not sure what you want to hover over; and
I am not sure what the relationship of drawing, cooking and hovering is.
I am guessing that $searchterm gets submitted to a search, but does it
get submitted via ajax? What happens then?

Basically, the standard advice for patents is what Mike Taylor gave:
ignore them. Pay attention to copyright and trademark issues (as the
Koha problem shows),
I gotcha. More information is, indeed, better. ;-)
So, on the PHP side, you just need to grab the term from the query string,
like this:
$searchterm = $_GET['query'];
And then in your JavaScript code, you'll send an AJAX request, like:
Something quite like that, my friend!

FWIW, I would not send HTML back to the client in an AJAX request - that
style of AJAX fell out of favor years ago.
Send back JSON instead and keep the view logic client-side. Consider using
a library such as knockout.js. Instead of your current (difficult to
maintain) mix of PhP and client-side
