Raymond Lorie
Research staff member, Computer Languages
Dr. Raymond Lorie has been a scientist in the area of computer languages for over 25 years. Located at the Almaden Research Lab, Lorie is currently working on a universal virtual computer (UVC) with software that can emulate a simple, logical machine. that will provide for the timeless preservation of digital data. When developers introduce a data format (like Word or Adobe's PDF format), they will also produce instructions for the UVC, telling it how to decode the file.
In his past work, Dr. Lorie contributed to the GML standard (followed by SGML and now XML). GML is short for "general markup language" and also represents the last names of its authors -- the L stands for Lorie. He has published more than 40 database papers in journals and international conferences, taught several graduate classes on relational systems at University of California Santa Cruz, and is the main author of SQL and its Applications (R. Lorie and JJ. Daudenarde, Prentice Hall,1991).
