Extract

Recently, there have been a number of reports identifying technologies of strategic importance. These technologies, which reflect the full range of national critical technology needs, are: materials, manufacturing, informatics and computing, biotechnology/life sciences, aeronautics/surface transport and energy/environment. In support of these technologies there has been much discussion on their research infrastructure, e.g., instrumentation, telecommunication networks, and supercomputing facilities. With the exception of biotechnology/life sciences, however, there has been little discussion on the uses of evaluated numeric and factual databases at the research level. The uses of databases are more advanced in biotechnology and life science research than in other fields, and this has been driven by the needs of genetic research, protein engineering, and drug design, where researchers need data and models for the design of new products. The needs of databases and their manipulation tools in materials science research are also essential in developing an intelligent research infrastructure. Given the present financial constraints, there is a need to use existing funds more efficiently and effectively. One way to achieve this is to use all available experimental data from various intersecting disciplines and bind them together with knowledge which will aid in the design of new materials.
