To support NII information dissemination, a user will be able to issue a query to be broadcast to the appropriate databases. A timely response can then be returned and translated into the context of the user’s query. Multi-formatted data may range from ASCII text to numerical time series, to multi-dimensional measurements, to time series of digital imagery, etc.
Predictor: Information Infrastructure Technology and Applications (IITA) Task Group: High-Performance Computing and Communications Information Technology Subcommittee
Prediction, in context:In a final draft of their Dec. 1, 1993, recommendations for the National Information Infrastructure, members of the High-Performance Computing Communications and Information Technology subcommittee write the following: ”To support NII [National Information Infrastructure] information dissemination, a user will be able to issue a query to be broadcast to the appropriate databases. A timely response can then be returned and translated into the context of the user’s query. Multi-formatted data may range from ASCII text to numerical time series, to multi-dimensional measurements, to time series of digital imagery, etc. Also of critical importance is the integration of metadata with the data and its accessibility across heterogeneous databases.”
