Managing Scientific Data.

The article discusses the need for more effective scientific database management systems (DBMSs). The vast quantities of information available for scientific study remain intractable if the data cannot be efficiently processed or managed. It is noted that any solution which proves effective for the...

      ab: The article discusses the need for more effective scientific database management systems (DBMSs). The vast quantities of information available for scientific study remain intractable if the data cannot be efficiently processed or managed. It is noted that any solution which proves effective for the datasets of scientific researchers will necessarily prove useful for any other type of dataset. The need for automated parallel and online processing of data and metadata is described. Issues involving querying and computer simulations are also analyzed.
