IAP 2001 Activity

Toward a Notation for Self-describing Systems Ray Ferrara Mon Jan 22, 09am-12:00pm, 4-159 Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below) Limited to 60 participants. Single session event We are struggling to finish the definition of a notation system and conceptual model for multi-level self-describing systems. For example, a physical instance is at level 0, its  data value at level 1, its field name at level 2, etc. We have not yet found all the higher level primitives for such a system, which is believed to be very general. Ray Ferrara '67 is a nationally-recognized data warehousing and metadata repository consultant, currently with KPMG.
