Zusammenfassung:Review comparing two new editions of Domesday Book on CD-ROM: Alecto Historical Editions' "Digital Domesday Book" and Phillimore's "Domesday Explorer". It considers their performance regarding finding people and places, searching and retrieving information, and mapping. It finds that the Alecto product is really a machine readable text whereas Phillimore's is a genuine database. A major weakness of both is that Geographical Information System software was not used in their making. (Quotes from original text)
