Network Data Management Committee Meeting Announcement The data management discussions at the recent NWG meeting resulted in the formation of a Network Data Management Committee to be chaired by Doug McKay, IBM. The purpose of the committee, as stated in RFC 146, is: (a) (b) to classify the issues involved and to propose various approaches; to integrate the hitherto independent network activities that address problems in the area of data sharing; and to set up and coordinate appropriate experiments to test the services developed and to evaluate alternative approaches.

(c)

An informal meeting was held Wednesday morning, 19 May to estab- lish an approach for achieving the above objectives. The attendees were: Peggy Karp Doug McKay Tom O'Sullivan Ari Ollikainin Dr. Larry Roberts Dick Winter MITRE IBM Raytheon UCLA ARPA CCA

Due to an overlap with a file transfer committee meeting, membership of the data management committee was not established. A decision was made to Cambridge prior to the format of the meeting meeting (RFC 87); that a working paper on one accompanied by an oral hold a data management meeting at CCA in next general NWG meeting. The structure and will be similar to that of the network graphics is, the price of admission for an organization is or more of the areas chosen for discussion, presentation.

The meeting will provide an opportunity for varying viewpoints on network data sharing to be expressed. The essential issues will be educed, thus fulfilling the committee's objective (a). Compre- hensive plans for attaining objectives (b) and (c) can then be established. We expect that responsibilities for carrying out objectives (b) and (c) will be assumed by interested committee members. One of the original objectives of the meeting was to elicit comments on the data language for the data computer, following a presentation of design specifications by CCA. Due to a change in scheduling at CCA, they will discuss the facilities to be provided by the data computer rather than language itself. Therefore meeting participants will have an opportunity to provide input to the language design which will be specifically directed at provision of the facilities. Some suggested topics for position papers are: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) Any or Other 146. at the upon. all ideas Many NWG philosophical discussion on computer network data sharing; syntactic and semantic considerations for data description and access languages; approaches for the integration of data handling services already available; experimentation methodology for evaluating alternative data sharing techniques; information content and structure of a network data directory; and operational or control protocol. of the above topics can be addressed in a single paper. for position paper topics can be gleaned from RFC #s 144 and of the comments made at the data management session, 18 May, meeting (RFC 164, pp. 26-29) can be expanded and expounded

Position papers should be submitted ti Doug no later than 19 July). A meeting agenda, papers, and a background bibliography will participants by 23 July. The meeting will Technology Square, Cambridge, Mass. from 2 participants should contact Marty Ginsberg, July for hotel reservations.
