That's exactly what I was thinking. It wouldn't be difficult at all to put this on Mysql (or postgresql or Firebird) and whip up a php interface to it. Easy as pie. Wonder if there's an ISO standard for cemetery data fields or a MARC record equivalent? Surely the Europeans (English, French and Germans), with their long history of record-keeping of cemeteries, have come up with some schema.
We have all these different applications for databasing things. We have Koha/EG for books and DSpace for digitized works and Gramps for geneology and something for cemeteries, and they all track info that is roughly analogous. We need a grand unifying theory for all this stuff-like UNIMARC2013. I have this general understanding that Evergreen likes to put the interface/app on one machine and the database on another. I suspect that would be a good design--load Koha/EG and DSpace and Gramps and whatever interface on a single machine, and the database(s) on another?
