Well, this is the E0 - hardware and E1 - OS perspective, and is quite valid for what layers in represents. ;-)

I purposefully, for the discussion within this group, restrict a formal definition to the "computerized" element of an organization's "intelligence".

And to be reasonable, the "intelligent" and more organizationspecific  code is found in the RDBMS software (E2) and application software (E3) layers.

It is my thesis that only by addressing the union of E2 and E3 will the next technologically and organizationally demanded database system theory be defined.

Theory addressing either layer, since 1979, is incomplete (with respect to organizational intelligence), because OI is resident in the union of the layers.
