How I used to publish simple databases.
Yeah, but what's evolving on my web space is no longer just a simple
inventory list. I want to include interpretive histories, links to
online documentation and software, hardware serial numbers, photos,
etc. Its becoming a big pile of metadata and although I can still
manage it manually, I can also see that this will no longer be the
case in a little while.
There was a similar "do it yourself" set of advice when it came to
cataloging my books, but instead <http://www.librarything.com> was the
perfect answer to my problems. I don't want to write my own PHP/MySQL
collection/database management system. (Hell, if I didn't want to be
a database monkey in 1978 when learning RSTS/E on the PDP-11/70, I
sure as hell don't want to be a database monkey in 2006!)
If noone is using a content management system that they like and would
care to recommend, that's fine, but I thought I'd ask first.
