Abstract

The Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Centre (VAMDC) is a multinational project launched in July 2009 involving 24 research teams from several countries of the European Union (Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden and the United Kingdom), Russia, Serbia and Venezuela. It intends to upgrade and integrate at least 21 atomic and molecular databases in order to implement an interoperable cyber-infrastructure for efficient data exchange in several user communities. In the present report we review the main features of data-intensive science (e-science), and within the context of the VAMDC, we discuss relevant concepts such as virtual databases; the deployment of database-centric applications as cloud web services; the workflow and script web-service integrators; data curation models; the social network as the new end user; the XSAMS XML schema and the structure of the VAMDC node.
