Title: Proceedings of the data management workshop
Description: "The editors of the Proceedings of the Data Management Workshop, that was held at Cologne in October 2009, are actively involved in scientific data management. Both are responsible for the project database and data management of two large interdisciplinary research projects for which they organized the present workshop. Both projects are funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) which actively supported the workshop. The CRC/TR32 "Patterns in Soil-Vegetation-Atmosphere-Systems: Monitoring, Modelling, and Data Assimilation" involves meteorology, hydrology, geography, geophysics, soil sciences, and mathematics. The CRC806 "Our Way to Europe" integrates prehistoric archaeology, geology, geography, geophysics, and soil sciences. Organizing spatial data management of such diverse disciplines which are distributed over several universities and research centers faces several problems. Consequently, the main focus of the Data Management Workshop was to discuss solutions and approaches for interdisciplinary and disciplinary data management."--Publisher's description.
