It is my understanding that IBM is "inventing" something for their Vatican Library project that would put the Vatican Library's seal on the images from their collection. And it would be randomly placed in different places. I heard a briefing last year at INFORMA 94 when they were just announcing the project's goals. Is anyone familiar with IBM's progress over the past year with this?
