Truls,

Besides the fact that simple, affordable and commercial
seem to be conratdicting each other :-)-O I wonder why 
doesn't the WHO roll one of their own along the lines of 
the IDRIS (or what it is called) data base system UNESCO 
gives away free of charge to libraries? 

I have  brought this topic up some time ago here but no 
response:

I am convinced it can not be that difficult to design 
suitable SQL tables, write modular programs interacting 
with mySQL on Linux, using XWindows tools such as tcl/tk 
or XForms (there is a free X Server for Windows and the Mac) 
or text based 4GL tools such as Onyx and give the stuff away 
for free.
