Abstract

Videotex has developed, for the most part, along a separate path from that of traditional data processing. For this reason there have been relatively few attempts to merge the two fields, to apply the knowledge gained in the structure and management of traditional databases to the problems of videotex, or, on the other hand, to consider the user interface approach of videotex as a means of providing access to more traditional databases. In this paper we outline the historical reasons for this split, and indicate some of the ways in which a cross‐fertilisation between the two domains could now be valuable.
