Requirements for Science Data Bases and SciDB

Summary: Consolidates cross-domain requirements from astronomy, particle physics, fusion, remote sensing, oceanography and biology to define SciDB, noting that many 'big science' needs align with complex business analytics. Describes partner-funded development (eBay, LSST, Microsoft, SLAC, Vertica), two lighthouse customers (LSST, eBay), and sketches a preliminary SciDB design targeting these requirements.
