-Procrustes (or Procuste) was a robber of Attica, who placed all who fell into his hands upon an iron bed.  If they were longer than the bed, he cut off the legs; if shorter, he stretched them till they fitted it.  Any attempt to reduce men to one standard, one way of thinking, or one way of acting, is called placing them on Procrustes' bed, and the person who makes the attempt is called Procrustes.
+Project '''procrustes''' is a requirements { policies, procedures, and technology } interoperability database. Its name comes from the [[ w:Procrustes| mythological inn-keeper]]. Its benefit is to provide small associated companies the capability to leverage their partnerships, to make more effective use of each other's capabilities and to deliver highly robust and compatible services, including those services provided by so-called products (useful only for the services they provide).
+The metaphor comes from the [[pair product]] rule: are you on the leading edge, or is it the bleeding edge of change?
