A Workshop Held March 29-31, 1998


Under the aegis of the Information and Data Management Program (IDM)
of the
National Science Foundation*, 84 investigators funded by IDM and 40 federal officials, and invited industrial and academic guests participated in a three-day workshop that enabled the articulation of common near- and long-term goals for the Information Management and Data Management research communities.

Plenary presentations and demos provided wide sharing of information and achievements, while workgroup discussions provided ample opportunities for exchanging views and more in-depth debates of selected issues. To fulfill the objectives of transferring information from government and industry to the academic research community, briefings and panels by invitees were presented.

This site contains the workshop proceedings fully-indexed (Proceedings & Reports), which were made available to all participants on their arrival, the presentations and reports of the working six groups (Group & Presentations) and other background materials as well as follow-up documents. The report on the workshop and its findings will also be made available soon on this site.

* This workshop was supported by the National Science Foundation, Information and Data Management Program under the  grants IIS-9812229 (PI: Panos K. Chrysanthis, University of Pittsburgh) and IIS-9812230 (PI: Judith L. Klavans, Columbia University).
