Implementation of a hypercube database system: Annual report, July 1988 to February 1989
At that time the principal investigators had already been working on the development of a database interface that would be appropriate for a hypercube implementation. However, the predominant thrust of that research had been towards developing a semantic data model which has been traditionally viewed as more appropriate for expert and artificial reasoning systems. We realized at that time that such a database implementation would be incomplete unless it also had a full capability for representing and accessing scientific data, by which we commonly mean array data. To support one kind of data without an equivalent capability of supporting all kinds of data would be futile. Still, it required this grant to direct a significant portion of our energies towards the representation of scientific data. In this report, we will concentrate primarily on our efforts to represent array types of data although it can not be entirely separated from our overall goal of representing all types of data in new ways that are particularly appropriate to a parallel processing environment. 18 refs.
