There are commercial products available. IHS makes a CD-ROM based
system which operates (as a standalone right now) from a PC. It is
read only. I think cost is less than $50K, but don't quote me....

Cahners Publishing has a system but I'm not familiar with it.  See EDN
magazines for an advertisment.

ASPEC has a system which is UNIX based and is multiuser plus you can
import the datasheets into a document. It's pretty good although a
bit spendy (if you have to ask, you can't afford it....:')
