Here is an excerpt from the http://lcweb.loc.gov/z3950/agency/markup/01.html
in respect to the above protocol which ALL libraries and information content
provider software are promoting in one way or another.

"This standard specifies a client/server based protocol for Information
Retrieval. It specifies procedures and structures for a client to search a
database provided by a server, retrieve database records identified by a
search, scan a term list, and sort a result set. Access control, resource
control, extended services, and a "help" facility are also supported. The
protocol addresses communication between corresponding information retrieval
applications, the client and server (which may reside on different
computers); it does not address interaction between the client and the
end-user."
The CMF/Zope I believe addresses the interaction between the client and the
end-user, and I suppose with the Standard Resource Metadata form a user can
build and catalog the particular "object" as required.
My question, well not so much a question but more of a requirement I have
found to exist within the British establishment and its educational and
learning institutions is for any software that provide content to support
the Z39.50 search protocol.
I think this will also enhance content provided by CMF as the Z39.50 search
protocol was developed to give searchers the ability to query any catalogue
or bibliographic file without needing to understand the different search
interfaces provided by different software suppliers.
Thanks for reading so far.
