Abstract :
Two categories of data interchange problems are generally recognized: differences in the representation of data items, and differences in the structural organization of records. There is a little-known intermediate problem: a simple fact can be presented in great variety of record formats. The author presents several dozen formats for representing one simple fact.<>
