ABSTRACT

The basic research on data definition languages and the translation algorithm was supported by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Air Force Systems Command, U.S.A.F., under Grant No. AFOSR-72-2219. The development and implementation of the Prototype Data Translator was supported by the Joint Technical Support Activity of the Defense Communications Agency under Contract No. DCA 100-72-C-0019. The authors would like to express their appreciation to Janet Eggleton for her assistance in the technical editing and final preparation of this paper.
