An interdisciplinary workshop on scientific database management, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, was held at the University of Virginia in March 1990. The workshop final report, a digest of the workshop proceedings summarizing the panel discussions and highlighting the workshop recommendations, is available at http://intranet.lternet.edu/archives/documents/data-informationmanagement/UVA_CS_90/cs_90-21.pdf.

On March 12-13, 1990, the National Science Foundation sponsored a two day workshop hosted by the University of Virginia, at which representatives from the earth, life, and space sciences gathered together with computer scientists to discuss the problems facing the scientific community in the area of database management. This report summarizes the discussion which took place at that meeting.

Held in Snowbird, Utah July 26-28, 1990. The LTER Program is unique in that it represents a network. An explicit goal of the LTER program is to study ecological processes that require measurement over long periods of time (years to decades to centuries). The LTER Data Managers recognized these two aspects of the LTER program and devoted their 1990 LTER Data Managers Workshop to the discussion and resolution of several associated problems and challenges in meeting these objectives.

This report presents the results of deliberations at a workshop held in May 1982 at Kellogg Biological Stataion to address what is perceived as a general problem of omission at field research site–that of data management. Data management has not had a very high priority at most established field research stations and only recently has there been a coordinated effort to develop data management systems among sites identified in the NSF-supported Long Term Ecological Research network.
