The National SExploiting Database Management Systems in Shipbuilding (The National Shipbuilding Research Program)

Abstract

The thought occurred to me while sitting here listening to these excellent presentations that those of you who were in the SIC session yesterday concerned with defining data processing problems missed our session which was involved in solving them. Our basic discussion was on database administration, starting out by defining data as a corporate resource that should be managed, mainly because it costs money. It costs money to manipulate it, it costs money if you cannot access it. We talked about today's environment in data processing as being fragmented, characterized by the lack of controls - the usual syndrome of everybody wanting to own their own data.
