- The only DD standard that I am aware of is IRDS, which is defined in several
- ANSI standards: the Information Model, Command Language Interface
- (X3.138-1988) and a Services Interface (X3.185-1992). You might also check
- an article that appeared in Comm. of the ACM by Daniel Dolk & Robert Kirsch,
- "A Relational Info. Resource Dictionary System", Vol. 30 No. 1, Jan 87.
