This paper is a review of scientific and statistical data management research at LBL in recent years in the areas of: logical modeling and user interfaces, database operators, and physical organization and access methods. In the area of logical modeling and user interfaces we discuss: SUBJECT, a system for organizing multi-dimensional data, GUIDE, a graphical query system, and logical modeling of temporal data. In database operators we discuss sampling from relational databases, and transposition of compressed data. In the area of physical DB organization and access methods we discuss: header data compression, rearrangement of data arrays to enhance data compression, batched interpolation search, bit transposed file organization, techniques for controlling overflow from multi-dimensional data structures (e.g. grid files), and data structures for temporal data. 31 refs., 7 figs., 1 tab.
