That may be just the ticket -- if OAI-PMH is a reasonable step in the data transformation (one that could offer another access method), maybe I'd better see about making this project speak OAI-PMH first and leave the next step to y'all. I've been avoiding Yaz and JZKit because I don't know C, C++ or Java yet. (Perl and PHP can do most of the things I need.) Thanks! Ben
