Comparison of four relational data model specifications
Pages 18 - 31
Abstract
This paper reviews four different approaches to specifying the relational data model which are written at about the same time:1. the 'Definition and Formalization of the Relational Data Model' as provided as part of the final ANSI/X3/SPARC/DBSSG Relational Database Task Group Report,2. the 'Relational Database Model Specifications' as submitted to the National Bureau of Standards by the Computer Corporation of America as a draft report in October 1981,3. the 'Formal Definition of the Relational Model' as specified by C. Date of IBM, San Jose, and4. the specification of the relational data model which is expressed in terms of the 'Positional Set Notation' as given in the 'Abstract Database Model' project of the National Bureau of Standards in October 1981.The paper points out some of the differences between the four approaches to specifying the RDM semantics.
