>Subject: [NET-LAWYERS] SPI Database Now FREE
>To: NET-LAWYERS@eva.dc.LSOFT.COM
>
>We thought this would be of interest to your readers (an expanded on-line
>resource).
>
>The SPI Database of Software Technologies is now available FREE
>at:
>
>http://www.spi.org
>
>on the world-wide web. Use is absolutely FREE -- no passwords, no
>userids, no registration. Please try it and give SPI feedback. It uses an
>interface that will be familiar to anyone who has used one or more web
>search engines, but applies this interface to a single database of
>material selected for its relevance to software technologies.
>
>Thanks to the generous support of computer firms, the USPTO, patent
>professionals, academia, and professional associations, SPI has been able
>to build a database of over 104,000 excerpts from almost 1,500 documents.
>Most of this material -- software program manuals, corporate technical
>reports, association journals, and computer science textbooks -- is not
>available on-line anywhere else. As older unique material, it complements
>rather than competes with existing databases.
>
>The database is by no means complete -- but it should be big enough to
>contain material that will be useful in tracking whether some proposed
>technology has already been developed in one form or another.
>
>SPI is still actively loading material, and is always seeking permissions
>from copyright holders to place excerpts from their documents into the SPI
>database. SPI is also seeking financial contributions through its members
>and donors. Since SPI has a substantial backlog of documents with
>permission in hand, the database will grow as fast or as slow as
>resources can be brought to the task of creating database records from
>such documents.
