IRMIS is definitely one of the solution I am looking for.
But how difficult is it to implement?
is IRMIS for Oracle databases only?
Are simple crawlers easy to program?
is there any other solution out there?
Is anybody on this list at SLAC and using IRMIS?
I definitely would like to have a short demo in the near future.
Thanks,
