dc.description.abstract	Formalisms comprise the essential bricks and mortar that we need in order to construct information systems. Not surprisingly therefore the invention and refinement of formalisms has formed and continues to form a significant activity and interest throughout the length and breadth of the computing community from the academic researcher to the work-a-day analyst or programmer. In the light of their significance therefore it would seem to be a worthwhile exercise to endeavour to document something of the process of formalism creation, its motivators and objectives.	en
