Stonebraker, Michael; And Others – 1976
The currently operational version of the INGRES data base management system gives a relational view of data, supports two high level, non-procedural data sublanguages, and runs as a collection of user processes on top of a UNIX operating system. The authors stress the design decisions and tradeoffs in relation to (1) structuring the system into…

Lincoln, Harry B. – 1969
This project comprises the second year's work of a 3-year research plan to develop computer programs, necessary data, and procedures for using the computer in a special field of musicology known as thematic indexing, and to explore the use of these techniques in other areas of music. During the second year, the research centered on three areas:…

Eastman, C.; And Others – 1975
Development of the Building Description System (BDS) was undertaken to explore use of the computer to construct models of complex physical systems. A fundamental goal of this work is a computer system capable of replacing drawings as the primary description for design and construction of buildings. This paper presents an overview of the database…
