Just the published patents take up about a TB of space at the USPTO, so stacking up about seven or eight of those FMF units could be partitioned by vocabulary perhaps. But the search parts would then have to be over the entire vocabulary and any unit that has a partial match with the patent vocabularies.

What would the total cost of ownership (TCO) be like to set up a project with the FMF performing the needed functionalities, plus a few dbmss?

Rich,

First a correction. In the following I meant to say 14 gigabytes, not 14 terabytes. It actually did a significant amount of processing.

Yes, our clients are professionals who know how to handle large volumes of data with all the required locking, etc. What they need are methods for processing and interpreting large volumes. They don't need or want the system to update the old data.
