During the construction of China's agricultural research information system (/JUS), the key issue needing urgent solution is how to build a content-rich and standardized modern database system. This is the background of the present study, which in turn is a special research task of the project entitled "Building China's Agricultural Research Information System", supported by the National 948 Program.The purposes of this study are to work out technical options, database series design, construction model, utilization model and development strategy for the database system, based on the systematical analysis of the issues regarding the construction and management of agricultural science and technology information (STI) databases in China, thereby providing the foundation for the orderly construction and sound management of agricultural STI databases in China.This paper employed relevant theories from information management science and systematic science as the guidance and adopted appropriate methods such as systematic analysis, information analysis and management analysis in conducting the research. Based on extensive collection of data and information and selected case survey, and through historical and international comparisons, the model selection and management strategy were defined for the construction of agricultural STI database.Although there have been a lot documents dealing with database construction and database technology, this paper is the first to study the construction and management of agricultural STI database taking agriculture sector as a whole. This paper conducted new exploration in the 4 following aspects:1. Based on the analysis of the development of information resource and information system management methods, the paper systematically examined the three development stages for database theory and technology, and then provided reasonable database classification system and described the characteristics of each type of databases.2. Six valuable experiences were drawn from a comparison of database industry development and database construction for selected countries (regions) and gaps in 6 aspects were identified for database construction in China. The history of agricultural STI database development in China was systematically reviewed and the major problems confronting agricultural STI database construction were identified.3. Systematic analysis and design were conducted for China's agricultural STIdatabase system, options for 6 major technical areas were proposed for the construction of agricultural STI database in China. Deployment at 3 levels and series design were put forward for the agricultural STI database.4. The 4 potential database construction models as well as the utilization model for the agricultural STI databases were given. 12 policy recommendations were provided.The paper used the national key project, Construction of Basic Agricultural STI System and Sharing Service in China, undertaken by SDIC/CAAS as case study. The construction of the System is a typical non-profit cooperation model, which will accumulate important experiences for the further development of agricultural STI database in China.This study provided scientific basis for the development of agricultural STI database and its system in China, and will play important reference role for the government in planning and managing agricultural STI database system.
