Abstract

Our collaboration with Jim Gray has created some of the world's largest astronomy databases, and has enabled us to test many avant-garde ideas in practice. The astronomers have been very receptive to these and embraced Jim as a 'card carrying member' of their community. Jim's contributions have made a permanent mark on astronomy, and eScience in general.
