Creating The UniServer

bmongar writes " DrDobbs has an article about a project for a mirrored universal astronomy database. Jim Gray basically wants a netowrk of observatories around the world to publish their data and mirror other observatories' data. Basically creating a quadruple redundant system of data all avaliable online. He wants to create a new type of astronomer, the astronomer that is a data miner." As the article also says, the guy behind this is the guy behind the TerraServer as well.
