BIB-VERSION:: CS-TR-v2.0 ID:: UCB//S2K-93-33 ENTRY:: February 25, 1994 TITLE:: Origins of Multi-Sector Scientific Collaboration: A Report on Research in Progress DATE:: February 1992 AUTHOR:: Weedman, Judith PAGES:: 17 ABSTRACT:: Sequoia 2000 is a research initiative funded by the Digital Equipment Corporation to develop large capacity object servers to support global change research. Existing hardware, software, network technology, and visualization techniques are inadequate to the task of handling the terabytes of data which global change researchers need to access and manipulate. The purpose of Sequoia 2000 is to develop the needed technology and to create an electronic repository in which researchers' data sets, programs, documents, and simulation outputs can be stored and made available to multiple users. Sequoia 2000 is a multidisciplinary, multi-campus, multi-agency project; researchers are from the fields of computer science, information, and global change, and are located in private industry, universities, and state and federal agencies.
