Abstract

A database system comprises a novel process for the organization, storage and retrieval of amorphous or ordered data. The data is organized into data threads, each thread comprising an address code which characterizes and describes the data, and the data body. The address code is organized in a hierarchy having a syntax and morphology similar to the structure of human languages. The language, called REMDL, contains nouns, verbs, relational modifiers, operators, punctuation, and literal strings. The nouns, which signify events, are modified, by means of relational modifier, to form noun declensions, while the verbs, which signify actions, when modified, form verb conjugations. REMDL further contains rules for the time-relationship between events by means of derivatives. By use of this language, data may be quickly and efficiently stored and may be retrieved with a high level of flexibility.
