“…into relational schema This is needed to define user gesture abstractions to specify the visual mapping of the data from a spreadsheet to a relational database. At Hewlett-Packard Laboratories for the past five years, we have been working to define these abstractims (11) and build a system called CAPS, (12), to process the declarative language called Applicatim-By-Example, Fig. 4.…”

In the area of human computer interaction, over the last twenty years, we have witnessed considerable progress in an ever-ina-easing bandwidth from the computer to the user. ApplicatiCll saeens evolved from static text CIlly saeens to interactive GUI saeens. These saeens contain nmnerous graphical element (I' "widgets", supporting multiple data types, such as text, voice, image, and video. The widgets can range from simple ones like a combo box or slida' to more complicated OCX's such as interactive graphs (l'maps. On the other hand, the tools to program this application arc still in the dcmain of programmers. Although there has been much progress in various RAn tools, visoallanguage and 4GL to improve case of use, they still mostly target programmers. We believe that in order to allow end-users to develop their own advanced UI applications, it is necessary to c:rcate higher-level application abstractions ea' 'algebra' f

This paper describes VISUAL, a graphical icon-based query language with a user-friendly graphical user interface for scientific databases and its query processing techniques. VISUAL is suitable for domains where visualization of the relationships is important for the domain scientist to express queries. In VISUAL, graphical objects are not tied to the underlying formalism; instead, they represent the relationships of the application domain. VISUAL supports relational, nested, and object-oriented models naturally and has formal basis. For ease of understanding and for efficiency reasons, two VISUAL semantics are introduced, namely, the interpretation and execution semantics. Translations from VISUAL to the Object Query Language (for portability considerations) and to an object algebra (for query processing purposes) are presented. Concepts of external and internal queries are developed as modularization tools.
