CODASYL : Short for Conference on Data Systems Languages, and pronounced code-a-sill, an organization founded in 1957 by the U. S. Department of Defense. Its mission was to develop computer programming languages. CODASYL was responsible for developing COBOL. The organization is no longer extant, but the term CODASYL is still used sometimes to refer to COBOL. 1, record 1, English, - Conference%20on%20Data%20Systems%20Languages

The canonical form of data... is independent of whether the data will eventually be represented by means of hierarchical, CODASYL, relational or other structures. It is sometimes called a conceptual model or conceptual schema. This model must be converted into a logical representation which the selected software can handle, and this is then represented physically. 2, record 2, English, - conceptual%20model
