  2. Scientific Database and Virtual Museums • Background • Object • Information Structure • Project Organization • Current Status • Future Plan • Cooperation

  3. Background -- SDB • Key engineering project of State Planning Commission（1986-1995） • Key project of Chinese Academy of Sciences（1986-1990） • Major project of network application of Natural Science Foundation of China （1995-1996） • Basic research special support project of Chinese Academy of Sciences（1991-2000）

  4. Background -- SDB • The largest Scientific Database in China • Multi-discipline database, covering: Information, Computer, Network, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, Material, Corrosion, Optics and fine mechanics, Natural resources, Energy, Eco-environment, Limnology, Marsh, Glaciology, Atmosphere, Ancient climate, Zoology, Hydro-biology, Remote sensing, etc.

  5. Background -- SDB • Long R&D period • From 1986 to the present • A large number of people involved • 22 units including CNIC • 500+ people worked for SDB in the past • 200+ researchers now still at posts

  6. Background -- SDB • Awards • SDB was awarded the First Prize for S&T Progress of CAS in 1997 and the Second Prize for National S&T Progress in 1998. • Those sub-databases won lots of awards individually.

  7. Background -- SDB • Data resources (by Dec. 2000) • 180 specialized databases • Total volume: 725GB • 19 web sites on CSTNET • 153 on-line databases, 327GB

  8. Background -- SDB • Serve for • Research • National Macrodecision-making • National Economy • Society

  9. Background -- SDB

  10. Background -- CSTNET • CSTNET • The earliest internet in China (1989) • International link 55Mbps • 800+ user units, most of those are research institutes

  11. Virtual Museum --Application Based on SDB • One of the most favorite websites on public understanding of science in china • Contents of Virtual Museums will cover almost all the fields of science and technology • Stress the following features of Virtual Museums • scientific • systematic • Authoritative • Interesting • Chinese special contents will be highlighted • Multimedia such as pictures, audios, videos, interactive games • R & D new technology, such as streaming media, Virtual Reality
