Several approaches to generalized data base management systems have been documented for the benefit of the data processing community. Perhaps the two most significant reports are Codasyl's Data Base Task Group Report issued in October, 1969, and revised in April, 1971, and the joint GUIDE/SHARE Data Base Management System Requirements. Each report brings with it its own distinct jargon to our already over-developed Tower of Babel. Although the reports often advocate similar solutions to the data management problem, there is a clear difference in emphasis and dominant philosophy. Perhaps the most immediately obvious difference between the two reports is that Codasyl has specified an actual COBOL syntax for the implementation of a data base management system (DBMS) and the GUIDE/SHARE report has simply defined the requirements the data processing community would impose on implementors of DBMS's.
