+ * existing ISIS databases into other applications. It is a wrapper around other ISIS
+ * libraries and tools, providing an uniform interface and iterators for easily fetching

+ *
+ * - <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~dpavlin/Biblio-Isis-0.24/lib/Biblio/Isis.pm">Biblio::Isis</a> through <a href="http://pecl.php.net/package/perl">Perl PECL extension</a>, which is the recommended choice.
+ * - <a href="http://malete.org">GNI's Malete</a>.
+ * - <a href="http://pecl.php.net/package/isis">Openisis</a>.
+ *
+ * Both Malete and Openisis support is outdated in favour os Biblio::Isis as it has proven
+ * to be simpler and more functional.
