adabas was one of the DBMSs that complied with the CODASYL (network model)
database standard. You can probably find the history at the Software AG web
site.
The 1968 survey was done in the formative years before the CODASYL DBTG
published its standard.
When there's time, I'll dig out the proceeedings of a comparative DBMS symposium
we did in 1974. adabas was one of the systems presented at that symposium.
