I know a little bit about how the government develops complicated databases.
  1. First they hire contractors or assign employees to form a team to design a database. Some of these may come from the community of users or designers of pioneering databases.
  2. Then they wait until the team has done a ton of work and got about 90% done.
  3. Then they change executives at the level that hired the team.
  4. The new executives sack the contractors or employees and get a new team.
  5. The new team takes everything the first team did and starts over, plagiarizing the original work as much as possible.
  6. This process may be repeated one or more times.
  7. Finally they declare victory and put the new database in place, where it is field tested and tweaked where it needs tweaked.

The last ones standing get all the credit.
