A Challenge: Enhancing Use of Data
 Multidisciplinary science and national user facilities
generating large, complex datasets that are
becoming unmanageable
 Existing data (experiment and simulation) can be far
better exploited if it can be effectively shared,
searched, and accessed
 Far better utilization of existing resources and
facilities
 Can approach new problems enabled by the above
 Integrating data to enhance iterative feedback (ex.
experiment and simulation)
Scientific Data Management Systems
 The problem is here today for experimentalists
 The concepts are understood to deal with the problems
 A lot of technologies are available that can attack these
problems
 The tools have yet to be implemented for existing
experimental communities
– Commercial tools are either not available or require
significant development and modification (ex CMS)
 The DOE facilities and collaboratories present specific
examples of problems and communities that can be
defined and approached within a reasonable timeframe
Scientific Data Management Systems
Common Themes
 Data mining, effective searching
 Provenance, pedigree,versioning, workflow
 Schema engineering
– design, tools, implementation, evolution, collaboration
 Metadata management
– source, science schema, workflow, archival, etc.
 Linking (multilevel, federated)
– data, databases, schemas, systems, etc.
 Access
– Portals, CMS, security, interfacing, standards
 Real-time, reliability, and capacity issues
