3) Funding for data centers can be perceived as taking away from potential funding of pure research and development. Consequently few applications are willing to devote a significant fraction of their funding to such enterprises. Therefore, its seems logical that AMO data centers should take on more of a multirole mission. That is, the existence of a data center only for AMO data relevant to a single application would be harder to maintain than say a data center with support from more than one area. This approach, while probably the best, might also have some disadvantages since "territorial" lines are often hard to cross, data centers and funders wishing to preserve a kind of status or territory. Also, as with many perceived cross-disciplinary endeavors, it is often easy for potential funders to take the point of view that if the effort is to contribute to a different area, those users should provide exclusive funding rather than "piggy-backing". Clearly a open forum and spirit of discussion would help to dispel these narrow interests and the survival long term projects such as creating and maintaining AMO databases depends on it.
