From page 51...
... The desire for high-resolution images incompletely expresses the needs of materials researchers. Many other qualities in an Image can be unportar~t, depending on its application, such as the dynamics of v'6eoconferenc~g or security for proprietary images.

From page 52...
... There are several advantages inherent in a centralized unage database. Although indexes of sample type and processing conditions are clear-cut, materials researchers may not want to make searches based on those charactenstics.

... Making Information Highway Use Compelling to Materials and Processes Researchers Discussion Group Members: F=nlc Crossman Lockheed-Mardn Lance Davis, U.S. D - arUnent of Defense many Davis, User Technology Associates Joseph Fnday, Alcoa Nirav Kapadia, Purdue University Icy Kerschberg, George Mason University Steve LeClair Wright-Patterson Air Force Base David Maluf, Stanford University John Mitchiner, Sandia National Laboratoanes Mark Munson, Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society Leslie Schneider, Tufts Un~versib In his presentation of this group's findings, LeCIair began by descnbing the compelling advantages that the Intemet offers to materials and processes researchers.

... The Internet can give researchers the ability to use research tools that are not available at their own facilities arid thus avoid the expenditures that would be necessary to create an in-house capability. LeCIair described the barriers found by the discussion group that inhibit materials researchers Bom talcing advantage of the hnternet's capabilities.

From page 61...
... Use the ~nternet to develop virtual partnerships or teams that are drawn together to work on a particular problem. These partnerships would include collaborations among end-users to identify key needs, collaborations among matenals suppliers (including smaller companies)

From page 62...
... Commercial and military aircraft designers, for example, have a much stronger need for validated materials data than for "cutting edge" information. Conversely, researchers investigating compound semiconductors, for instance, need rapid access to breakthrough data and are less interested in acquiring validated data.
