history of computing 3703Tim Shoppa ref: TOD clock discussion circa 1980, STL wanted to relocate something like 300 of the IMS people to an offsite building about 10 miles away. They looked at remote 3270 support into the STL datacenter but found it totally... so the past posts get updated in the header with Refed field which are the subsequent posts that reference the past posts; the RFC summary information for references, obsoletes, updates, etc ... are done similarly ... as are the merged taxonomy-glossary entry. somewhat from a relational standpoint ... a side-effect of just loading information results in a kind of normalization, ful joining, and ful indexing of the information just loaded ... along with side-effect of all full join-index operations are always bidirectional ... when there is a relationship from one-place to another ... there is automatically always a reverse relationship from the target back to the original. it is also trivial to approx. a RDBMS infrastructure (all primary index fields are unordered members of set) and at the same time also represent a hierarchical ordering (some members of the set may be precursor to other members of the same set) and-or mesh ... (some members of a set have various kinds of peer-to-peer relationships with other members of the same set). it is difficult and-or somewhat contrived to approx. the full richness of the infrastructure in HTML or even in a purely relational-sql implementation.
