March 2000 FDD white paper

The March 2000 FDD white paper outlined a framework for implementing Flexible Distributed Data (FDD) systems, emphasizing adaptability, scalability, and interoperability in distributed computing environments. It proposed standards for data exchange and system integration, enabling diverse applications and platforms to communicate efficiently. The white paper aimed to guide developers and organizations in designing flexible, robust infrastructure that can evolve with technological advances, improving data management and collaboration across different systems. Its goal was to promote a unified approach to distributed data handling, fostering innovation and reducing integration complexities in enterprise and scientific computing.
