Database Pioneer Passes Away

by PFDebate LLC on November 25, 2006

From today’s New York Times:

H. Donald Wilson, who prepared the original business plan for what became Mead Data Central and its pioneering Lexis-Nexis database, died on Nov. 12 at his home in Mitchellville, Md. He was 82.

Nothing has changed debate as much as affordable access to full-text databases.
