Oh yes you do! You have said that the RM you use is Codd and nothing but Codd. You have said, separately, RMDLSDB and 11 other papers (with conditions). But you apparently do not want to list those papers. I have asked, indirectly, more than once (probably a mistake), but I have also asked directly. Maybe you intended to answer, maybe not, but I have, as yet, no answer. You may be about to say that I should know without being told, but I can't because it is _your_ list. I might find someone else's list, I might even have my own list already, but if I do not have your list I can not know where you are coming from.

Your definition may be a combination of various publications, but if you do not provide the evidence then I must say (scientifically) that it is still a private definition.
