Abstract

We propose an approach to the description of the semantics of data structures in programming languages, based on the notion of network grammars which allow for complex dependencies between various data elements. The proposed method can be efficiently applied for the description of data structures in various data description languages or for the definition of the semantics of data manipulation languages.
