Designing and implementing the Science Archive for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (Gunn et. al 1992) has presented several unique architectural obstacles. First, the final archive will be large; the cumulative data products will exceed tens of Terabytes. Second, the data will be complex; extracted parameter catalogs will contain links to images, spectra, and objects in other wavelength catalogs. Third, the archive will be widely distributed allowing transparent world-wide access to the available data. Finally, the archive is expected to remain viable well into the next century.
