This will be reinforced through practical and theoretical examples with explanation and justification. It is hoped that this article will act as a platform from which a wider debate could emerge. The FMG welcomes all correspondence on this subject. This first instalment of the article will deal with more generic database structure. The next instalment will detail the possible presentational formats of a public database and show how it could be effectively administered.
