EUROPE CO P ER ANU CTU ERS ASSOCI ON l June 1986 Free copies of this document are available from EC:\lA, European Computer :\Iannfadnrers Association I H Rue dn Hhi'me 1201 Geneva (Switzerland) BRIEF HISTORY The first version of the language BASIC, acronym for Beginner 1 s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, was produced in June 1965 at the Dartmouth Col lege in the USA. In January 1978, ECMA published a Standard for Minimal BASIC, ECMA-55, prepared in coopera tion with ANSI X3J2 and fully compatible with the corresponding ANSI standard . This Stan dard ECMA-55 served as a basis for the ISO Standard on Minimal BASIC. With the continuation of the work, a draft Standard for full BASIC was agreed by ANSI X3J2 , EWICS TC2 and ECMA/TC21 in January 1985 . This draft is composed of a mandatory Core module and five optional modules . Starting from this draft, ECMA/TC21 prepared a Standard for fully defined subsets of the language . These subsets , called ECMA BASIC-! and ECMA BASIC-2, are designed for business applications , requiring extended file facilities . ECMA BASIC-1 has no exception handling facilities and a reduced set of file operations . In addition, all the keywords in ECMA BASIC-1 are reserved words, reducing the comp lexity of the interpreter or compiler needed . ECMA BASIC-2 provides full exception handling capabilities , full file operations and fixed decimal capabilities . The set of reserved words is minimal . Both subsets provide the full flow control capabilities provided in the ANSI standard . An additional module (ECMA GRAPHICS) provides a minimum of graphic capabilities and can be used with either subset . -

It is recognized that application of scientific knowledge is one of the best ways of achieving social progress. Rapid application of such knowledge is of paramount importance in the development of technology, which in turn leads to an increase in productivity and social advance. The rapid application can only be realized if there is effective cooperation and exchange of information on an international level. However, the distribution of work and responsibility for operating a world-wide information exchange system is a very complex problem. -
Up to a Point, Lord Copper
copper.html Up to a Point, Lord Copper A response to Tom Johnston's article,"More to the Point" (Database Programming & Design, October 24th, 1995) by C. J. Date, Hugh Darwen, and David McGoveran Tom Johnston's recent article "More to the Point" [2] was a response to a critique by the present authors [3] of an earlier two-part article by Johnston [4] in support of many-valued logic. What follows is a response to that response. We begin with a slightly edited excerpt from that letter. (Note: Following normal convention, we use MVL, 2VL, 3VL, ... throughout this paper to stand for many-valued logic, two-valued logic, three-valued logic (and so on). Our comments tend to focus on 3VL specifically, though they often apply, sometimes with even more force, to 4VL, 5VL, and the rest.) "Probably many readers are bored to tears with this whole subject. Certainly the editor of Database Programming & Design seems to think so; in his introduction to our previous critique, he wrote: '[Johnston's response to this critique] will appear [soon] ... With that, we'll all shake hands and end this chapter of The Great MVL Debate.' Would that we could! But Johnston's response simply cries out for further rebuttal. The sad truth is that the topic of our debate is fundamentally important. What's more, it isn't going to go away (indeed, nor should it), so long as MVL advocates such as Johnston fail even to address-let alone answer-our many serious and well-founded objections to their position. -

ISO 8601 Committee Draft 3
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 8601 SecondFirst edition 1997-..-..1988-06-15 INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR STANDARDIZATION ORGANISATION INTERNATIONALE DE NORMALISATION ME*AYHAPOAHAR 0PrAHkI3AL4HR n0 CTAHAAPTH3AL4KM Data elements and interchange formats – Information interchange – Representation of dates and times Éléments de données et formats d'échange – Échange d'information – Représentation de la date et de l'heure Reference number ISO 8601 :19971988 (E) Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, govern- mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the ISO Council. They are approved in accordance with ISO procedures requiring at least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting. International Standard ISO 8601 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 154, Documents and data elements in administration, commerce and industry. It cancels and replaces International Standards ISO 2014 : 1976, ISO 2015 : 1976, ISO 2711 : 1973, ISO 3307 : 1975, and ISO 4031 : 1978 and ISO 8601: 1988, of which it constitutes a technical revision. It incorporates ISO 8601: 1988, Technical Corrigendum 1 and ISO 8601: 1988 Amendment 1. Users should note that all International Standards undergo revision from time to time and that any reference made herein to any other International Standard implies its latest edition, unless otherwise stated. -

Confusing Physcal and Logical Levels of Abstraction Is The
Confusing Physcal and Logical Levels of Abstraction Correspondence Between David McGoveran and Jim Starkey, April-May, 2014 In April, 2014, Jim Starkey posted a commentary "Is the Relational Data Model Spent?" on the Database Architect's Forum of LinkedIn. I was sent a copy of the post by Fabian Pascal, a member of the forum. Choosing not to join the forum in order to respond, Jim and I communicated via postings on Fabian's blog www.dbdebunk.com with two rounds each. The correspondence follows, in order of its appearance and as it appeared, spelling errors and all. I have taken the liberty of improving formatting for readability. I have assumed that, since Jim's commentary was public and not copyrighted (I have added a notice on his behalf herein), that it is fair use to include it herein. Of course, if Jim ever has any objection I will be happy to remove his portion of the correspondence and expand my commentary to so as to explain what he posted without including it. Is the Relational Data Model Spent? by Jim Starkey, Database Architect © 2014 Jim Starkey – All Rights Reserved Let me start by establishing my relational credentials. My first exposure to relational databases was some mimeographed copies of Codd’s early papers while working the ARPAnet Datacomputer project. I was unable to convince the company I worked for that relational was the future (“too academic”). I joined DEC to write a relational database, but got sidelined by a hiring bait and switch. I did start the DEC Rdb project, but had to spin off due other other responsibilities.
