Approved For Releasq269NOFq) EA FN4.00788r001300270001-9 II INTRODUCTION The manipulation of textual data was among the earliest applications of digital computers. From these earlier uses, it was immediately apparent that two separate requirements should be imposed on data-base manageme nt (DBM) designers: e Develop task specific DBM programs. * Develop generalized DBM programs that allow any specific application to be designed at a later time by the end-user. The first requirement was easily met. An abundance of data-base management systems (DBMS) for specific tasks exist that handle everything from general accounting for business to map generation by graphic DBM, The second requirement, however, has not yet been adequately realized, Although many computer vendors offer generalized DBM design programs, they all appear to be of limited use when applied to a specific set of design requirements. The problem of creating a DBM design program is not trivial; to be useful to the widest possible audience, it must be very general. Yet, this very generality makes the final DBM cumbersome to use. This report describes test applications of a commercial DBMS to remote viewing (RV) data and recommends a threefold approach to the general problem of RV DBM. 2 CONFIDENTIAL Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788r001300270001-9
