講座摘要:

Data and Databases are a powerful resource, and they always have been. This can be shown from a historical perspective and also from a computer science-based approach. In this seminar, Sarah Hünting (Passau) will present on a Chilean cybernetic IT system from the Allende days in the early 1970s and how it had been used for maintaining supply during the state of emergency in a nation-wide strike. Kai von Lewinski (Passau) will then show that database design should find greater recognition in legal discussion and be more receptive to the insights of the conceptual modelling perspective in database science.
