Hugh,
We're glad you like our database so much. The database is not particularly complicated; we evolved it from earlier attempts to categorize and make visible our I/T work. It is not a commercial product, just something we implemented in Filemaker. If you are interested, we could send you the schema and perhaps some data.
Thanks, Bob Ferrara

When I saw your implementation of this on the web I was very, very impressed. It is exactly what I intend for my own organisation, even though we are in the commercial sector.
