GAME Archive & Information Network

Gain是游戏档案和信息网络的缩写。其功能分为两部分，1)制定游戏观测数据管理政策；2)构建游戏相关活动数据在各地区的传播系统；1)制定并发布游戏数据管理政策。由于游戏项目是一个国际研究项目，国际合作对其成功至关重要。数据政策是基于这样的国际合作理解，并为游戏数据的各个方面提供了指导方针。例如，游戏数据的定义和数据分配的基本策略等。数据政策的原始草案是由村上博士起草的，并在第2届游戏国际科学小组(GISP)上首次提出。这项政策是在1998年1月游戏密集观察期(GAME-IOP)之前由3&D；GISP通过的。第二，Gain开发了一个公共开放系统，提供通过游戏活动获得的观测数据。该系统建立在互联网上，开发了易于使用的图形用户界面(GUI)和快速、有序的数据库系统。由于数据临时系统从那时起将使用10年以上，因此还准备了一个安全的备份存储。关于上网次数较少的国家，GRAN出版了7张数据光盘，并广泛分发给这些研究人员和管理人员，以供学术使用。

GAIN is an abbreviation of GAME Archive & Information Network. Its function is divided into two parts, 1) establishment of the GAME observational data management policy and 2) construction of the system that disseminates the data obtained by GAME related activities in various regions.Firstly, GAIN established and published the GAME data management policy. Because the GAME project was an international research project, international cooperation was crucial for its success. The data policy was based on such international cooperative understandings, and gave a guideline for various aspects concerning the GAME data. For example, definition of the GAME data and basic strategy of data allocation, and so on. The original draft of the data policy was prepared by Dr. Murakami, and it was proposed in the 2^<nd> GAME International Science Panel (GISP) for the first time. The policy was adopted at the 3^<rd> GISP in January 1998 just before the GAME intensive observation period (GAME-IOP).Secondly, GAIN developed a public-open system that provides the observation data obtained by GAME activities. The system was constructed on the Internet, and an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) and fast and organized database system were developed. Because the data provisional system was meant to be used for more than 10 years from then, a secure back-up storage was also prepared. Regarding countries with little online accesses, GAIN has published seven data CD-ROMs and distributed widely to those researchers and managers for academic use.
