  Descriptive Intermediate Attributed Notation for Ada
  DIANA
  
     <language> (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].

diana - 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.
