Clark, List ...
It's the sort of thing everyone knew when I first started working
with (what were then called) “very large data bases” (VLDBs) back
in the late 70s. I think there's a genealogy that goes straight
from Ted Codd to Arthur Burks to Peirce. Seems like I recall
John Sowa wrote more on this somewhere.

I didn’t know that. Was the computer science that developed relational
databases engaging with Peirce explicitly? Any good place to get a primer on
that history?
