I would like to know if there are any research projects in various areas of natural science that could be improved if there were a better form of data management, e.g., a better database system that enables you to correlate and to access relevant data efficiently rather than a simple file system storing raw, unstructured data. Examples that quickly come to mind include chemistry/biology applications such as DNA databases, massive data handled in astrophysics and geology. I am trying to come up with a design of databases suited to scientific applications, and collecting information on requirements regarding management of scientific data, experimental or otherwise. Since I had been in physics before I got into computer science, I am in particular interested in physics application, though any information on the above issue is greatly appreciated.
