“I work with databases and every field in a database is like a different dimension that entries can have: last name, first name, SSN, salary, etc. I’m thinking these extra dimensions are similar.”
OH NO!!! Do you mean the GDPR will also cause these dimensions to be completely scrambled with no trace to how they were before?????????
I’m a database person, non-database person probably won’t get that :)
Scientists and philosophers need to stop looking for the Prime Directive, and instead start searching for the Primary Key. Then everything will sort out nicely and be readily searchable. ;-)
