DOIAbstract
Recently, there has been a lot of work undertaken in the area of distributed databases. The architecture and syntax presented in this paper is a response to the very real need for the development of a unified approach to distributed databases. The development has also been influenced by the imminent publication of a draft proposed standard for the network database model [1]. It is anticipated that the formal basis upon which the architecture and syntax is based [2,3] can be used to form a suitable specification for the relational database model. A draft standard is also in preparation for such a system [4], but is less well advanced than the network specification
