I would like to know if there are any research projects in various areas of natural science that could be improved if there were a better form of data management, e.g., a better database system that enables you to correlate and to access relevant data efficiently rather than a simple file system storing raw, unstructured data. Examples that quickly come to mind include chemistry/biology applications such as DNA databases, massive data handled in astrophysics and geology. I am trying to come up with a design of databases suited to scientific applications, and collecting information on requirements regarding management of scientific data, experimental or otherwise. Since I had been in physics before I got into computer science, I am in particular interested in physics application, though any information on the above issue is greatly appreciated. Below is my address; Hitomi Ohkawa Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering Oregon Graduate Center 19600 N.W.

You might be interested in looking at the newsgroup bionet.molbio.bio-matrix. Your topic of interest is the subject of this group as it applies to biology. -- Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson BIONET Resource Manager kristoff@net.bio.net or kristofferson@bionet-20.bio.net
