Throughout the world a staggering amount of resources have been used to obtain billions of environmental data points. Some, such as meteorological data, have been organized for weather map display where many thousands of data points are synthesized in one compressed map. Most environmental data, however, are still widely scattered and generally not used for a systems approach, but only for the purpose for which they were originally taken. These data are contained in relatively small computer programs, research files, government and industrial reports, etc. This Conference was called to bring together some of the world's leaders from research centers and government agencies, and others concerned with environmental data management. The purpose of the Conference was to organize discussion on the scope of world environmental data, its present form and documentation, and whether a systematic approach to a total system is feasible now or in the future. This same subject permeated indirectly the Stockholm Conference on the environment, where, although no single recommendation came forth suggesting a consolidated environmental data pool, bank or network, each recommendation indicated that substantial environmental data needed to be obtained or needed to be pooled and analyzed from existing data sources.

Die Forschungen uber die Stoffwechselfermente bilden heute ein zwar noch junges, aber bevorzugtes Feld der Biochemie. Noch sind nicht allzu viele vollkommen sichere Tatsachen auf experi mentellem Wege gefunden worden. Dazu ist die Materie an sich fur die kurze Zeit der Bearbeitung zu sprode gewesen, und ins besondere fehlt es noch an neuen fruchtbringenden Methoden; es ist noch sehr viel von dem, was wir in den folgenden Blattern mitzuteilen haben werden, auf Hypothesen und Analogien ge grundet. Aber andererseits ist das, was wir schon wissen, und das, was wir auf Grund hypothetischer Annahmen mit ziemlicher Sicherheit zu wissen glauben, so wichtig und fuhrt so bis in den innersten Kern der grundlegenden Stoffwechselfragen und der Chemie des Lebens uberhaupt hinein, dass man es wohl verant worten kann, in eine Sammlung wie die vorliegende, die ja gerade die aktuellen Tagesfragen der Naturwissenschaft behandeln soll, auch ein Kapitel uber die Stoffwechselfermente einzureihen. Dies ist um so mehr berechtigt, als die grosse Mehrzahl der hier klar gestellten Tatsachen und Gedanken, trotz ihrer grossen Bedeutung fur die allgemein biologischen Fragen, in naturwissenschaftlichen Kreisen so gut wie ganzlich unbekannt zu sein pflegen.
