RD45 - Milestones for 1996

1. Identify and analyse the impact of using an ODBMS for event data on the Object Model, the physical organisation of the data, coding guidelines and the use of third party class libraries
2. Investigate and report on ways that Objectivity/DB features for replication, schema evolution and object versions can be used to solve data management problems typical of the HEP environment
3. Make an evaluation of the effectiveness of an ODBMS and MSS as the query and access method for physics analysis. The evaluation should include performance comparisons with PAW and Ntuples
