[Air-l] ICT's Timeline: thanks and first draft

My new motivation is here to ask for an advice : should I consider the history of "databases" as relevant in my reflection and should I link it to the developpement of on-line ressources ? (which I couldn't take into account yet)

Rather than databases per se, you might consider E.F. Codd's application of relational calculus to data as the "turning point" to identify. Here's an appropriate cite: Codd, E.F. (1970). "A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks". Communications of the ACM 13 (6): 377-387. Hope this helps, --elijah
