I want to speak on (what **I** think) is this underlying REAL problem. This is NOT a DATA MODEL issue. (damn I wish educators would quit teaching this). It is NOT a Java problem it is not a SQL problem.....it is an INFORMATION problem. YOUR (or my) data model don't mean crap. It's about representing the information in a semantically meaningful way. ...... Yep...this was an abrasive, affrontive attack on the status que....... most especially in academia and monpolistic business. Since I am an independent consultant/researcher I guess I have the liberty to say so. We can delve into technical issues if you wish and I'll be happy to debate them with you. But the reality is that we have been battling this for more than 45 years while the rest of the world has moved on....... (see the video on Youtube about IBM at Johns Hopkins in 1963) Think about it. ?We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.? --Albert Einstein Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. --Albert Einstein Yeah; I like to quote him. He was a man of great intellect and foresight.
