Workshop: Integration of Chronostratigraphic Databases for the 21st Century, November 8 - 10, 2001, Amherst, Massachusetts

面向21世纪的年代地层数据库集成Ogg和Paul J. Sikorae-0124356这个为期3天的研讨会将聚集来自不同研究团队的定量地层学家和数据库专家。 目标是协调数据库标准和兼容性;设计各种全球和区域地层数据的信息检索和分析战略和工具;讨论数据库一体化和集中目前分散存放的未来方向。 研讨会将（1）提出地层数据存储、格式化、检索和转换的标准，（2）确定数据采集、可访问性和操作工具的关键需求，（3）为分布式地层数据库系统目前和未来的发展提出必要的基础设施集成发展战略

ABSTRACTINTEGRATION OF CHRONOSTRATIGRAPHIC DATABASES FOR THE 21ST CENTURYJames G. Ogg and Paul J. SikoraEAR-0124356This 3-day workshop will assemble quantitative stratigraphers and database specialists from diverse research teams. The goals are to coordinate database standards and compatibility; design strategies and tools for information retrieval and analysis of all types of global and regional stratigraphic data; and to discuss future directions for database integration and centralization of currently distributed depositories. The workshop will (1) propose standards for stratigraphic data storage, formatting, retrieval and conversions, (2) identify key needs for data acquisition, accessibility and manipulation tools, and (3) recommend a development strategy for the necessary integration of infrastructure for present and future growth of a distributed stratigraphic database system
