Data base management systems information retrieval

SQL. SQL is the Structured Query Language standard promulgated by IBM. It is the de facto standard for relational data base management systems (RDBMSs). The standard defines the syntax of commands that can be used to access and retrieve information from data stored in one or more flat two-dimensional tables. Most...

The SGX Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is based on an Oracle database platform. As an enterprise level relational database, Oracle is robust and can be expanded to meet any future needs. The expense to implement and maintain the database and to create the tools to retrieve the data stored within, including an administrator dedicated to managing the system, can be significant. At SGX, use of the LIMS to monitor all of our scientific activities reduces the incremental cost to the beamline to an acceptable level. 

Gomputer-based system of managing radiological information, including patient-specific data and imj es. PAGS is used in all imaging modalities to facilitate the transfer, retrieval, and presentation of ims es. 

Despite some few exceptions, most research institutions dealing with physical and chemical processes leave the task of information management to the individual researcher. On the other hand, research institutions and individual researchers need a technical platform enabling them to store and retrieve their data and information in a standardized way. The framework and the system implementation presented in this paper focuses on the latter aspect. The development of a knowledge based system is described, which helps to manage the results of scientific research in the area of physical and chemical processes.
