ganization to make continued use of any prior
investments in custom index development, particularly as represented in the training of staff
in the development and use of local indices. Instead of investing resources in converting the indices to Web-based forms, which is expensive
and time consuming, the organization can make
more modest investments in developing dynamic Web-link processes that can build Web
indices from custom indices and translate Web
queries into custom queries. This helps avoid diverting resources from the all-important task of
building the metadata database, yet guarantees
that the result will still be accessible to both internal and external data clients.
