The evolution of computer commercial applications has gone from simple, repetitive accounting to extremely complex information systems. The ability to support the multiplicity of applications and information needs of a business entity with a corporate wide information system has been discussed at length over the last few years. Data redundancy and the inability to transfer data on an intersystem basis within the corporation are among the chief problems to be overcome. The implementation of the Integrated Corporate Data Base (ICDB) in support of a total information system is a potential solution to these problems. The ICDB concept can be defined as the logical centralization and control of all data necessary to manage the business enterprise. It entails five basic functional elements, which are defined and discussed in detail. • The Data Bank • The Data Dictionary/Directory • The Data Base Management System • The Data Base Administrator • The User/System Interface The ICDB concept is applied to the information system of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The information system is outlined and the ICDB concept applied in its environment.
