Military/Commercial Bridge
"There is, and always has been, a philosophical gulf between the application of cataloging for military purposes and  for commercial purposes. Commercial practices are not precise enough to support cost-effective military inventory management while military cataloging is far too detailed and costly for commercial purposes. ECCMA offers a way to bridge the gulf”. Mr. Alan Williams, Assistant Dept Minister, Canadian Dept of National Defence.
