It was very, very helpful. I'm in another quandry. I've got a lot of technologies in this photo library that talk about what a technology MIGHT do. For example, XYZ Technology uses electricity to create a gramafritz field that destroys organic and other hazardous compounds. This technology could be used for environmental remediation, chemical analysis, biological sampling, etc., etc. I'm a bit worried about indexing what the technologies could do for several reasons: 1) I don't have this information for all of the technologies, 2) while the technologies could do these things, I know, in some cases, no one has applied them that way yet, 3) I'm going to end up with some huge lists that I'm not sure are going to be very useful to my audience. Suggestions? Opinions? Thank you, Kristin Manke .
