“Another advantage with this approach is that I am nearly independent of the system or application I am using. This approach works in ADM, IS, Ultra Recall and even with a search engine like Coveo, X1 or Yahoo Desktop search.”
The only problems that I can think of with system, Dominik, are the possibilites of forgetting which keywords you have used, or using them consistently. That’s why I prefer a list.
In ADM, I used a combination of keywords and columns, usually hoisting on the keywords, and then referring to the metadata in columns.
For detailed academic work, I find the up-front effort I put into assigning keywords with MDE InfoHandler well worth the time.
BTW, I see you are still waiting for a definition of CRIMP. It is an acronym, and I forget what word each of the letters stands for. However, CRIMP was a term invented by one of our members—I forget which one—to refer to the compulsion some of us have to try and buy new pieces our information-related software. It has been used as a verb and a noun.

Daly,
There was a new thread devoted to CRIMP and its definition :-)

Graham, right you are. I didn’t realize that until after I had posted. Oops!
BTW, I’ll be interested in hearing more on how you progress with IS9. It does sound like Micrologic has tried to add some new functionality.

Daly,
I will post my initial impressions in a couple of days, some good and some bad at the moment.

I’ll be interested in seeing your thoughts, Graham. I have been one of the harshest critics of IS over the last couple of years because of their pricing policies, their haphazard treatment of users, and quirkish approach to software. However, reading some of the posts in the IS Yahoo group I get the sense that perhaps for version 9 Micrologic recognized the need to be somewhat innovative with the software.
I had heard some time ago that version 9 was to have been a revolutionary redesign of IS, bringing its code into more of a contemporary form, but that does not appear to have happened. Perhaps version 10?
