Scope and goals

This project covers all aspects of databases, including (but not limited to) logical design methodologies, query languages, storage systems, physical design, administration, and security. The information currently available on Wikipedia concerning this important, far-reaching, topic requires the talents of all available subject-matter experts, writers, editors, and those with organizational skills.

The ultimate aim of thisWikiProject is to create a comprehensiveDatabase reference for Wikipedia. As a result, the scope of the project includes all articles in the area ofdatabases, although there is likely to be some overlap with articles in areas such asmathematics,logic, andsoftware engineering as well. The specific goals of the project are to:

• Discover and tagall database-related articles with the {{WPDATABASE}} banner.
• Split, merge, delete, and create articles as needed to build a useful and comprehensive body of knowledge.
• Develop individual database articles to the highest-possible standard.
  • Make all database articlesaccessible.
  • Work towardsfeatured article status for database articles.
• Build a community of interest around databases.
