Game, dataset and match

Article Abstract:

The UK Joint Academic network (Janet) has made database services available for academic users. The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) is expanding the number of services by 100% and Edinburgh University, Scotland has become a new data center. Organizing Medical Networked Information (Omni) provides data on health and medical issues. A database for university research is being set up at Manchester University, England. The UK appears to be able to design and set up a national plan for such services.
