On what standard is your catalog tool based?

As you may or may not know, the AAIA standard has been totally revamped and improved on or about 10/2003.  This upgrade is normally referred to as the 'relational' database.  In short, the Sophio software found online and usable for FREE is based on the old standard.  The version to support the 'new' standard is still in development and will be released as soon as possible.

It will be possible to export data from the old standard to the 'new' therefore you can safely use our tools to continue to manage your catalog.
