[dba-Tech] Dearly Departed Databases (R.I.P.)

> I just discovered a link to Framework,
Do you mean this link, Arthur?
http://www.framework.com/

BTW, I think that this is James Martin
(http://www.softwarehistory.org/history/important_people.html - Founded
Information Engineering approach) - who has written a book, which I forgot
how it was titled (sorry - was that  "Viewdata and the Information
Society"),
which predicted around 1980 what will happen in the next 20+
years in Information Systems area . I read
this book as a Xeroxed copy that times - these were here the times we have
had a few foreign books  translated (but all the main articles from many
magazine were available in English although photocopied only also).

He has written another book now "After the Internet : Alien Intelligence"
(he has 100+ books published AFAIK) - will that be as right in his
predictions as the one from eighties....
