Abstract
The 18th British National Conference on Databases (BNCOD) was held at the CLRC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) from 9th-11th July 2001. The main topic of discussion was the expanding growth of information technology which continues to place demands on the management of data. Database researchers must respond to new challenges, particularly to the opportunities offered by the Internet for access to be distributed, semi-structured and multimedia data sources. The message of the meeting was the requirement for the database community to engage with the Semantic Web and the e-Science community.
