Abstract
Most ADP practitioners like to regard themselves as professionals—in the sense that they belong to a ‘profession’ and are not ordinary salaried employees. This view which is reinforced by (or is a result of ?) such moves as the publication of the British Computer Society’s Code of Behaviour and the evident concern of data processing practitioners about the ethics of data bases argues for a disciplined and systematic approach to work as is evidenced by the legal, medical, teaching and engineering professions with which ADP would like to claim equality.
