Complaints on Constructing Database Big work, little reputation 9 Purposes may not be clear enough. (Its importance seems to be easily denied) 9 It needs manpower, money, and motivation. (It may be harder to keep updating it.) 9 It is hard to get the pole position in the websites. (It is hard to make it attractive.) 9 It is hard to gain reliability of data. (It is hard to obtain the right data on others only from their websites.)

How about you?

What to do 1. Not to say “What for?” or “So what?” anymore because we’ve already made it. 2. To discuss the re-arrangement of the data sheets and the search system, but not to take too much time and money. 3. To bring each existing database (like a home party). Then, 4. To see what will happen and to discuss the next move at the 4th workshop.
