Samal, thanks for your post.

I am familiar with Mybase—I do not know CyberArticle.

ADM is being developed in Beijng, but apart from that I do not have a sense of what the target market is.

What ADM offers that Mybase does not is the ability to handle metadata through use of columns and in-document metadata cards—also ADM has a system of keywords, and direct access to the Internet.
