本文件概述了虚拟原子和分子数据中心电子基础设施的现状，包括与虚拟原子和分子数据中心连接（或将要连接）的数据库的现状，基础设施内最新技术发展的最新情况，并介绍了利用虚拟原子和分子数据中心电子基础设施的一些应用工具。我们分析了过去10年VAMDC的发展和运作，并评估其对原子和分子（A&M）物理学领域本身和国际合作中的异构数据管理的影响。高度复杂的VAMDC基础设施和长期开发的相关数据库使其成为许多研究领域未来应用的完美可持续数据资源。然而，我们也讨论了目前的限制，阻止VAMDC成为主要的发布平台和A&M数据的主要来源，为用户社区，并提出可能的解决方案正在调查的财团。几个用户应用程序的例子，说明VAMDC在当前的研究应用程序，这往往需要从多个数据库的A&M数据的好处。最后，我们提出了我们对VAMDC未来的愿景。
This paper presents an overview of the current status of the Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Centre (VAMDC) e-infrastructure, including the current status of the VAMDC-connected (or to be connected) databases, updates on the latest technological development within the infrastructure and a presentation of some application tools that make use of the VAMDC e-infrastructure. We analyse the past 10 years of VAMDC development and operation, and assess their impact both on the field of atomic and molecular (A&M) physics itself and on heterogeneous data management in international cooperation. The highly sophisticated VAMDC infrastructure and the related databases developed over this long term make them a perfect resource of sustainable data for future applications in many fields of research. However, we also discuss the current limitations that prevent VAMDC from becoming the main publishing platform and the main source of A&M data for user communities, and present possible solutions under investigation by the consortium. Several user application examples are presented, illustrating the benefits of VAMDC in current research applications, which often need the A&M data from more than one database. Finally, we present our vision for the future of VAMDC.
