On Database Systems viewed as Programming Languages

At present an extremely complex system of specific ideas and notions has been developed in the domain of Database Systems. These ideas and notions are perplexing designers as well as users thus turning out a hindrance rather then a tool for development and implementation of Information Systems dealing with Data. The present paper aims to show that these ideas and notions are dispensable altogether since Data Information Systems (Database Systems) may be conceived and developed strictly within the scope of ideas of Programming Languages and in standard terms of this field. In this paper the notions of Information System, Data- and Semantic Information are analyzed and compared. Information Systems dealing with Data (Database Systems) are interpreted as Programming Languages. The approach is discussed and illustrated by one of the pilot versions currently being implemented at the Technische Universität Berlin.
