ITIS Database in Oracle script files?

[News]

Hi,

We are using Itis too in our project of a biodiversity server for 
Belgium. For know we provide a direct link to the right page in several 
databases.
But we are working on integrating whole databases to our system when 
they are available. We will try this with Itis, but I do not think we 
will pass through Oracle but just index the .unl files provided

Best regards
