Descriptive Intermediate Attributed Notation for Ada
DIANA

    (DIANA) A formerly de facto standard
   intermediate language for Ada programs, developed by Goos
   and Wulf at CMU in January 1981.  DIANA is an attributed
   tree representation, with an abstract interface defined in
   Interface Description Language (Nestor, Lamb and Wulf, CMU,
   1981; Snodgrass(?), 1989(?)).  DIANA resulted from a merger of
   AIDA and TCOL.Ada.  At the present (2001) it is no longer
   used by the major ADA compilers

   ["DIANA - An Intermediate Language for Ada", G.T. Goos et al,
   LNCS 161, Springer 1983].

4. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

Diana
   so called by the Romans; called Artemis by the Greeks, the
   "great" goddess worshipped among heathen nations under various
   modifications. Her most noted temple was that at Ephesus. It was
   built outside the city walls, and was one of the seven wonders
   of the ancient world. "First and last it was the work of 220
   years; built of shining marble; 342 feet long by 164 feet broad;
   supported by a forest of columns, each 56 feet high; a sacred
   museum of masterpieces of sculpture and painting. At the centre,
   hidden by curtains, within a gorgeous shrine, stood the very
   ancient image of the goddess, on wood or ebony reputed to have
   fallen from the sky. Behind the shrine was a treasury, where, as
   in 'the safest bank in Asia,' nations and kings stored their
   most precious things. The temple as St. Paul saw it subsisted
   till A.D. 262, when it was ruined by the Goths" (Acts
   19:23-41)., Moule on Ephesians: Introd.
