Scientific Database Workshop

拟议的讲习班将把科学家和数据库研究人员聚集在一起，确定适合科学数据库软件的要求和设计标准。特别是，讲习班的参加者将设法查明现有数据库软件可以解决的问题，更重要的是，确定现有数据库软件没有解决的问题和需要为其制定解决办法的问题。目标将是编制一份规划文件，以帮助指导研究朝着生产可行的科学数据库管理系统的方向发展。

The proposed workshop will bring together scientists and database researchers to identify the requirements and design criteria appropriate for scientific database software. In particular, the workshop participants will seek to identify the problems which can be solved by existing database software and, more importantly, determine those problems which are not being addressed by existing database software and for which solutions needs to be developed. The goal will be to produce a planning document to help guide research toward producing viable scientific database management systems.
