TL;DR
A user interface paradigm for database management systems that is motivated by scientific visualization applications is presented, which includes a “boxes and arrows” notation for database access and a flight simulator model of movement through information space.
Abstract
We present a user interface paradigm for database management systems that is motivated by scienti c visualization applications. Our graphical user interface includes a \\boxes and arrows" notation for database access and a ight simulator model of movement through information space. We also provide means to specify a hierarchy of abstracts of data of di erent types and resolutions, so that a \\zoom " capability can be supported. The underlying DBMS support for this system is described and includes the compilation of query plans into megaplans, new algorithms for data bu ering, and provisions for a guaranteed rate of data delivery. The current state of the Tioga implementation is also described.
