  16. III. Remarks on S&T Databases in Vietnam • 3.1.All most databases are Small Scale • Application/Implementing different software (ISIS, Foxpro, Zope, Access, Green Stone, SQL,Libol,…). These Software are designed for text storage and retrieval purposes and they are difficult to be applied in client-server and relational database application. Difficult to access/to search them on Internet, software Retrieval interface not friendly enough for users. This is first problem we have to pay much attention. • 3.2.Update: not usually (lack of data/documents…). Data Collecting Problem. 3.3.All most databases in Vietnam are in Vietnamese language (a few in English)

  17. III. Remarks on S&T Databases in Vietnam and Recommendation • It is good for local users, but create difficulty in international data exchange. Translation huge quantity of records from Vietnamese into English seems to cost a lot of budget and labor. This is one of difficulty problems in Vietnam • 3.4.Manpower: Nacesti manpower is not trained enough, especially for development and integrating Databases

  18. III. Remarks on S&T Databases in Vietnam and Recommendation 3.5. Recommendation: -JST should provide NACESTI and some other Vietnamese Information Centers with software, formats and manuals for creating or modernizing some S&T Databases. -Provide support to translate data of some S&T databases from Vietnamese in to English (at least abstracts) -Train and regularly update new IT knowledge for key staff of NACESTI and some other Vietnamese information Centers
