We are using III's resolver product WebBridge. I don't believe they are
using
other companies' products and tuning and branding. If it's not rocket
science
as Chuck suggests why should they? But that's another matter. I do know
that
their related product MetaFind is based on a third party software (Muse).

I can't agree with Chuck here because showing where the article could be
found,
when the user doesn't have rights, is very, very frustrating to the user.
I
recently read someone say that an OpenURL resolver is as good as the
knowledge
database behind it. I would be grateful if someone can remind me where to
find
this quote as I would like to use it in a presentation I'm preparing.
Thanks.
