Is a free alternative to CDS/ISIS available?
`CDS/ISIS' is a database application. Details are at
http://portal.unesco.org/ci/ev.php?URL_ID=2071&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201&reload=1035195531
Also see http://www.bib.wau.nl/isis/intro/
and http://www.bib.wau.nl/isis/brandon.html
This Software is non-free freeware. Institutions need to enter into an
agreement with UNESCO to distribute it.
An educational institution I know is creating a bibliography, which
will be distributed on CDs. They are creating a searchable list of
authors, publishers, editions, and abstract of articles / books and
journals on a particular subject to be distributed on a non-profit
(apparently) on a stand alone CD.
The work is in very preliminary stage of digitsing and we) might be
able to influence the institution into using a free alternative.
But, is a free alternative available?
