ABSTRACT
This paper deals with the problems of data base translation for achieving data sharing through a computer network. A semiautomatic data base translation procedure and its prototype implementation are described. The procedure takes advantage of data conversion capabilities already existing in programming languages and I/O control systems and of man-machine interaction to achieve data base translation tasks. The user of one system is allowed to browse, retrieve, edit, format and restructure the data acquired on-line from another system to produce a new data base suitable for his own application programs. The procedure attempts to bypass the complex task of formally describing and translating several levels of data representation commonly undertaken in the existing data base translation systems.
