> My SRU client interface WILL receive queries such as the following -- > people WILL enter queries such as these: > * foo bar > * repetitive task > * virtual libraries > * International Technology Education Association Just my 2 cents here: I think it is a misconception to build a SRU interface that a user will be directly interacting with. It is my understanding that SRU is a machine API, for programs to use, not for people to directly interact with...unless they are just goofing around with a GET string in their browser. In the above situation I would put a layer in between the the user form which submits the data, and the operation performing the SRU/CQL search. This layer would receive the user input, massage accordingly, talk to the SRU service, and return the results. //Ed
