Chemical Datamanagement

[Huub van Dam <h.j.j.vandam %! at !% dl.ac.uk>]

Dear all,
 I have been asked to give a talk on scientific data management to bring
 forward the requirements of the chemical community. So I would like to
 invite any comments or references on topics like:
 - Datastorage: What data do we need to store, how much of it and for how
 long?
 - Interoperability: Different data formats and programs and to make
 everything (not) work together.
 - Visualisation: What and how to visualise (and what does it show)?
 - Analysis: Storing tons of data is one thing but how to extract
 meaningful information from all that? What kind of analysis do we want
 to do?
 - Any other aspect that comes to mind.
 Please send emails to me directly, I will summarise.
 Many thanks, Huub
