Information Technology?

"Information Technology industry" seems a bit of an anachronism. I don't think the word was used in 1959. It was the computer industry then, or perhaps the data processing industry.

Seems odd: the copyright holder claims to have authorized its use. However, the diagram is unsatisfactory for other reasons - it talks of "parent" and "child" records whereas in Codasyl they should be called "owner" and "member". Mhkay (talk) 20:46, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Re-title, merge or expand

The work for which CODASYL is most remembered is the COBOL language. This article should be re-titled with a {{about|the CODASYL data-base model|the COBOL language|COBOL}} or {{for|COBOL}} hatnote, merged with COBOL or have a COBOL section with a {{main|the COBOL language|COBOL}} hatnote. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
