		Scientific Data Systems, or SDS, was a computer company founded in September 1961 by Max Palevsky, a veteran of Packard Bell and Bendix, along with eleven other computer scientists.
		Much of this success was due to the use of silicon-based transistors in their earliest designs, the 24-bit SDS 910 and SDS 920 which included a hardware (integer) multiplier.
		A project to develop a virtual memory system for time sharing use at the University of California, Berkeley resulted in the SDS 940, basically the 930 with additional hardware to provide dynamically paged memory and interruptable instructions.

	Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Because of the heterogeneous nature of these systems, data is difficult to locate, poorly documented, difficult to understand, and difficult to use.
		Some areas of scientific research do use databases [5], or at least are converging on standard metadata descriptions, but here again, the documentation of the metadata usually resides in text files.
		A better architecture for scientific data would support two major goals: (a) diminishing the work required of each user to participate in or interactive with scientific data systems, and (b) improving the quality of data delivered to users.

		For scientific users writing small programs, this was a real boon and dramatically improved development turnaround time.
		The 910 and 920 were supplanted by the SDS 9300, announced in June 1963.
		A 945 was announced in July 1968 as a modified 940 with less I/O but more compute power, but it is unclear whether this shipped.

	Scientific Data Management - an introduction
		The paper Data Management Systems for Scientific Applications is a good survey of topics that should be covered by any Scientific Data Management system.
		The task of managing scientific data is so overwhelming that scientists spend much of their time managing the data by developing special purpose solutions, rather than using their time effectively for scientific investigation and discovery.
		The Extensible Scientific Interchange Language (XSIL) is a flexible, hierarchical, extensible, transport language for scientific data objects.

		Data are typically displayed and stored in the units of your choice (e.g., wind speed in mph, m/s, knots).
		Measurement processing and data storage are programmable, but measurements are typically made every minute then processed and stored at hourly and daily intervals (e.g., maximum, minimum, average).
		Data can be measured and stored more or less frequently (depending on the application and conditional sampling) based on events such as increased wind speeds, torrential rainfall, or diurnal cycle.

	The Scientific Data Systems Sigma 7 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		I worked on a Scientific Data Systems (SDS) Sigma 7 computer for about two year when I first came to Canada, at Computing Devices of Canada, just west of Ottawa.
		The company was purchased by Xerox in about 1970, and SDS became Xerox Data Systems, and the machine was then called the XDS Sigma 7.
		I found an interesting solution, as the application made very little use of the operating system services once it was loaded, and the memory used by the OS was essentially wasted.

		Anderson argued that one challenge from a scientific point of view was the tension between discipline-specific requirements and practices and the growing need for interdisciplinary approaches to scientific data.
		She noted that the reuse of observational data in astronomy was important for optimising the scientific return on large projects.
		Kevin looked at a survey of the use of data sets in the UK Data Archive, noting that a majority of use (around 60%) was concentrated on a fairly low proportion of the collection (around 10%) and he thought that a large percentage of data would most probably never be used.

		The SDS 940 was Scientific Data Systems' (SDS) first machine designed to support time sharing directly, and was based on the SDS 930's 24-bit CPU built primarily of integrated circuits.
		The 940 was simply a commerciallized version of the Genie design, and remained backwardly compatible with their earlier models (with the exception of the 12-bit SDS 92).
		Like most systems of the era, the machine was built with a bank of core memory as the primary storage, allowing between 16 and 64 kilowords.

	Supporting Metadata and Coordinate Systems for Scientific Data in the Horizon Java Package
		When exploring scientific data with a data visualization tool, scientists are usually more interested where the data resides in physical or conceptual space than its position within some data array.
		Such a space, the data's domain, is often referred to as the data's World Coordinate System.
		Because the parameters describing a coordinate system can be considered as metadata of the system, this document presents the support for world coordinates as a case study in the use of metadata within Horizon, beginning with a general description of Horizon's metadata model.
