• Flexible, personalizable, integratable domain-specific data structures to link components?
- Facilitate individual research.
- Collaboration across spatial & temporal scales.
- Access and deposits to archives.
Using database technology makes Metadata and Validation
a natural byproduct of the research process,
And therefore fosters DataArchiving & DataSharing.
