| Abstract |
|
The integrated management of information across the disciplines in the first Research Programme constitutes an important goal of CORILA. RIVELA is a relational and flexible database for storage and management of information, designed to facilitate the provision of the research results to scientific community, the decision makers and the general public. RIVELA allows the permanent and secure archival of results from research activities and the wide dissemination of the data, subject to an appropriate user authorisation. All interactions between users and RIVELA occur via Web. The main problem in planning, structuring and organising an environmental database is the management of the mass of data which derive from different disciplines[1]. In fact, the complexity and the richness of the programme requires a carefully designed data management, both for long term archiving of data and for the immediate and interdisciplinary data usage by researchers. The environment, indeed, is a complex system, which is studied by many different sciences (such as geology, hydrology, biology, etc.). So, it is necessary to create one powerful tool which would permit, e.g., the interaction between chemical parameters, information about the biota and physical data [2,3]. The development of this inter-disciplinary database required, in the planning phase, the lengthy task of organisation of the existing knowledge, to obtain an accurate description of environmental matrices, sampling localities, parameters to be measured, types of sample, data acquisition methodologies, and a lot of other ancillary information to be stored in the database in addition to the main data. Thus, the classification of records in RIVELA is the result of a complex interaction with the Research Groups to collect and define, in a common structure, the different ways to store the relevant information.
