Provides an IRDS (Information Resources Dictionary System) conceptual schema framework that supports the representation, integration, and translation of heterogeneous representation languages, schemes, or paradigms including national and international standards. Part 1 provides IRDS conceptual schema topics and foundational material and Part 2 provides the results of the modeling language analysis.
