ABSTRACT
The Data Base Management System is now a well established part of information systems technology, but the many architectures and their plethora of data models are confusing to both the practitioner and researcher. In the past, attempts have been made to compare and contrast some of these systems, but the greatest difficulty arises in seeking a common basis. This paper attempts to show how a generalized data system (GDS), represented by two different models, could form such a basis; it then proposes that data policy definitions can restrict the GDS to a specialized model, such as a relational or DBTG-like model. Finally, it proposes that this concept forms a better basis for data structure design of specific system applications.
