5.1 Data Bank
Monitoring Developments of Database
•
The Data Bank continued to update the database, mainly relying on
the data received from member countries (energy data collection form),
and the data released byArab national institutions and authorities, which
were made available. Furthermore, the General Secretariat’s database
was updated with the information in the technical papers and studies
presented during the events organized by the General Secretariat or in
which it participated.
The Data Bank, in collaboration with the different departments
in the General Secretariat, monitored the performance of systems,
which it had previously prepared, using ORACLE g11 technology,
while feeding it with new technologies. The Data Bank in the General
Secretariat activated the e-search service of the contents of the General
Secretariat’s Library, using ORACLE, and via the General Secretariat’s
website. The Data Bank, in collaboration with the Information and
Library Department, designed the internal borrowing system for the
General Secretariat’s staff, using ORACLE g11.
