I would be very interested in learning about servers that employed methods that supported dynamic index referencing for searches and the like. Searching capabilities have escalated the need for us to identify the characteristics of a database. We are now taking preliminary steps towards managing and utilizing data (video, hypermail archives, documents, etc.). We are looking for an internet solution. I've looked into dynamic indexing tools for document searches and found that although WAIS and glimpse do not depend on a predefined set of indexing terms - they are full-text searchers that build and modify a set of relevant index terms as you refine your search, they are not robust and do not provide data unifying attributes. I liked the global oo aproach taken by Hyper-G, however i feel it and other imposing super structures like z39.50 are too premature to be taken in fully. I'd be interested in hearing more about your thoughts and ideas regarding these topics and document administration. -Anne Anne Tracey BBN Educational Technologies 150 CambridgePark Drive Cambridge MA 02140
