The USGS would like to become compliant with SRW/SRU at the
search interface of our main portal. That search service is
the Ultraseek product, now owned by Verity. At some point,
the Ultraseek product will ship SRW server and client software
but we would like to try a gateway approach in the interim.
So, the questioin is: Does anyone have suggestions as to
what we can use for an SRW/SRU gateway from/to Ultraseek?
I have gotten this same question for FAST, Verity, and
various Microsoft search products. I am wondering if it
would be helpful to list common search tools and show
what one could use as an SRW/SRU gateway in each case.
(I suppose any MetaSearch tool has to maintain something
equivalent, doesn't it?) There is a template for such a
list at http://www.search.gov/interop/gateways.html
