Data Model Processing: An Approach to Standardization of Database Management Systems.

Abstract

This paper outlines a general philosophy and framework for the specification of a data model. Extracts from scenarios that have been developed for specification of several well-known data models (e.g., DBTG, relational, TDMS) are given and discussed. These extracts are preliminary and incomplete, but they are used to illustrate the feasibility of the Data Model Processor Approach. The scenarios are intended for implementation of an augmented positional processor that will be able to support different data models and, through transformation, serve in defining and testing new DBMS standards.
