Q14 - Standards Development Plan, Ada Interfaces to POSIX, Analysis and Recommendations

Abstract

This report describes Information Resources Dictionary System (IRDS) and the status of IRDS standardization efforts as of 1989. An Information Resources Dictionary System (IRDS) provides and inventory system for the information environment of an enterprise and is intended to be the principal tool for managing the information resources of an enterprise. The report addresses early, federally funded users of the IRDS standard and research which involves the intersection of Ada Programming Support Environment (APSE) and the IRDS standard. The report uses recently published guidelines for the comparison of semantic data models to analyze the models of CAIS-A, the ANSI IRDS standard, and the STARS Information Object Model. The results of this study are a set of conclusions concerning the importance of the IRDS standards to STARS. In general, this paper is concerned with the role STARS should play as an Ada advocate within the ANSI IRDS standards committee, the use of CAIS-A nodes for an IRDS implementation, and the relationship between IRDS interfaces and the STARS Environment Object Manager (EOM).
