Abstract
Since they first became commercially available, database systems have played a well-defined role in enterprises: managing business-critical information and making it accessible to clients. During the past 40 years, the database research community has worked to significantly improve data storage, organization, management, and access, as reflected in many of today's most popular database management systems. Enterprises have been moving their critical data to (mainly relational) databases, and the number of databases, applications, and domains within each enterprise has multiplied. Moreover, by enabling cross-enterprise communication, the Internet has helped convert closely controlled environments into highly distributed, dynamic, large-scale information spaces. In today's global marketplace, most enterprises must actively share information with their partners, suppliers, and customers to achieve their business goals.
