Abstract

Half a century ago, Charles Bachman foresaw the significance and centrality of data in the digital world. In this short paper, we delve into the evolution of these ideas within the database community over the past decades. We believe that this historical analysis helps deepen our comprehension of the fundamental changes undergoing our discipline and provides insights into the future trajectory of our field.
