ABSTRACT
In May 1989, a first workshop entitled ”Grundlagen von Da-
tenbanken” was organized by founder members of a newly
established GI working group (”Arbeitskreis”) with the sa-
me name. Nobody among the organizers and the numerous
attendees of this initial event even dared to hope at that
time that ”GvDB” would still be alive both as a working
group (by now the oldest in GI) as well as a regular annual
event in 2018! As young (and not so young) DB scientists
will come together for the 30st time this year in Wuppertal,
looking back to 1989 and reviewing what has been achieved
since then may be a worthwhile activity.
