“…To transform data into knowledge, information must be supported by an appropriate search and viewing mechanism that will allow the user to utilize them; this is true regardless of what data format the information is stored in. This is evidenced in the works of Odeview [3,4] and Pesto [5], where a graphical-based application was proposed for the browsing and querying of object-oriented databases. Other work in this area includes XQForms and QURSED [6,7], but this work has looked at simpler schemas and at the creation of developer tools rather than auto generation of a user interface for end-user applications.…”

The widespread use of eXtensible Markup Language (XML) for data representation and exchange has led to increasing research interest in methods for XML content searching, presentation, and access control. This paper presents an XML repository searcher-browser application with a declarative role-based access control framework;the proposed access control model allows the definition of a finegrained access policy to be applied to the underlay data content.The auto-generated user interface for the accessing of XML content provides a light-weight application that, while taking into account the access control policy, is also suitable for distributed mobile applications.

In this paper we introduce and formally define Query by Browsing (QBB), a scalable, relationally complete visual query language based on the desktop user interface paradigm and tuple relational calculus that allows the formulation of complex queries over relational, entity-relationship, object-oriented and XML data sources on a variety of handheld and desktop platforms. It is to our knowledge the first visual query language to combine the important characteristics of usability, scalability, expressive power and flexibility. We support these claims by demonstrating the similarity of the QBB paradigm to the popular desktop user interface paradigm, by relating it to relational calculus and relational algebra and by describing Chiromancer II, a web-based implementation of the QBB paradigm for handheld devices. We also discuss ways in which non-relational sources can be represented and queried and compare QBB to related work in the area of visual query languages for a variety of data models. We finally offer conclusions and thoughts for future work. I. IAs the volume and heterogeneity of data increases, as users become more demanding in their queries and mobile in their workplace and as information is accessed through an increasing variety of devices, the need for better search interfaces becomes imperative. We believe that a modern search interface able to deal with these challenges should be:• Usable: discretionary users should be able to form meaningful queries with little or no instruction and within a reasonable amount of time. • Powerful: queries of arbitrary complexity should be achievable. • Flexible: suitable for a wide variety of domains and data models. • Scalable: able to accommodate large schemas with large amounts of information and adaptable to the diminutive screen size of handheld devices. In this paper we present Query by Browsing (QBB), a Visual Query Language that combines the file browsing features of the desktop user interface paradigm with concepts from the relational model and the expressive power of relational calculus. We begin by describing and formally defining the QBB paradigm. We then demonstrate its expressive power by comparing it to relational algebra and make claims about its usability by presenting its similarity to the widely popular desktop user interface paradigm. We discuss its suitability for presenting and querying non-relational data sources such as entity-relationship, object-oriented and XML schemata. We also compare and contrast it with other query languages in terms of ease of use, expressiveness, flexibility and scalability. We then provide some implementation details regarding Chiromancer II and the QBB paradigm in general. Throughout our discussion, we use screenshots from Chiromancer II, a web-based implementation of the QBB paradigm for handheld devices, thus demonstrating its scalability through its minimal screen requirements. Finally, we present our conclusions and thoughts for future work. II. T QBB The main idea behind the QBB paradigm is to ...

S O P V i e w is a graphical user environment f o r SOP OODBMS I. S O P V i e w supports the frame-based visual specification of object-oriented database query ele m e n t s such as target classes, projections, conditional predicates, and path expressions. SOPVaew also provides a browsing method which consists of components such as visualization structure, synchronized browsing, and intermediate reference set query in order for users t o understand and access complex reference hierarchy an object-oriented databases with ease.
