en.Wedoany.com Reported - With the rapid advancement of technologies such as large models, agents, RAG, and multimodal retrieval, the application paradigm of artificial intelligence is evolving from "human-machine Q&A" to "agent-coordinated execution." As the foundational infrastructure for data storage, computation, and processing, databases are transitioning from traditional systems designed for human queries and application calls to new data infrastructure tailored for agent access, reasoning, memory, and execution.
In agent-native application scenarios, the boundaries of database capabilities—such as interaction paradigms, schema design, and workload isolation—have undergone profound changes. On one hand, agents require continuous database access to perform operations like context retrieval, task planning, and long-term memory management. On the other hand, databases must simultaneously support unified management of structured and unstructured multimodal data, providing stable, trustworthy, and auditable data services to agents under conditions of high concurrency, low latency, security, and reliability. Traditional databases still need further enhancement in areas such as semantic understanding, agent interfaces, context management, data isolation, access control, and autonomous operations to better adapt to agent-native applications.
To promote the development of the agent-native database technology ecosystem, standardize relevant product capability requirements, and foster deep integration between databases and AI applications, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT), under the auspices of the CCSA TC601 Big Data Technology Standards Promotion Committee, is organizing the formulation of the "Technical Requirements for Agent-Native Databases" standard. This standard will focus on the overall architecture of agent-native databases, systematically specifying capability requirements across key areas such as the database infrastructure layer, data storage layer, and intelligent interaction layer. It will serve as a reference for the research and development, capability evaluation, scenario deployment, and ecosystem building of agent-native database products.
We are now publicly soliciting organizations and experts to participate in the drafting of the "Technical Requirements for Agent-Native Databases" standard. Participation is subject to approval after review. Organizations and experts that make significant contributions to the content development and implementation of the standard will be recognized as core contributors and listed in the standard.
