In this paper, a DBMS called Samhita is described. Samhita is based on the network model of data. The prime motivation behind Samhita was to re-examine the notion of currency indicators with a view to minimising side effects in currency setting and to introduce the concept of multiple positioning in the data base. An attempt was also made to impose a discipline on data base definition by restricting the network model itself. It is expected that as a result of these efforts a methodology of programming for data bases will emerge.
