Abstract
In the summer of 1980 high in the Colorado Rockies the mountain flowers were blooming, as were ideas of multi-disciplinary conceptual modelling. The Pingree Park Workshop on Data Abstraction, Database, and Conceptual Modelling [17] marked a figurative and literal high point in expectations for the exchange between databases, programming languages, and artificial intelligence (AI) on conceptual modelling. Quietly hiking amongst the AI, database, and programming language luminaries such as Ted Codd, Mike Stonebraker, Mary Shaw, Stephen Zilles, Pat Hayes, Bob Balzer, and Peter Deutsch was John Mylopoulos, a luminary himself who inspired and guided, for over three decades, the branch of Conceptual Modelling chronicled in this paper.
