....the interleaved browsing and querying of the views at both the front end level and the programmatic level. At the front end level it provides the BBQ [15] GUI, which blends querying and browsing and is reminiscent of IBM s PESTO GUI for in place querying and browsing of object oriented databases [4]. The user of BBQ navigates into XML data. At every time he may issue a query relative to the point that his navigation has reached. This feature was first introduced in IBM s PESTO and was called query in place . For example, the user may navigate into a camera node and issue a query for ....

.... provided by most commercial DBMS: schema browsers and editors, visual query languages, and data visualization tools (see [CCLB97] for a survey) In this paper, we focus on a family of data visualization interfaces for object databases, known as object browsers [PBL 92,DAA 95,DGJS95,CHMW96] The underlying principle of such interfaces is to provide a visual representation of the data residing within objects, and to offer visual operators for navigating through related objects. Two kinds of interactions are commonly supported by object database browsers: navigation within a ....
....such as support for null valued and collection valued properties. Lastly, we present the browser s implementation and sketch some future work. 2 Problem description and related works 2. 1 Object database browsers Most object database browsers, e.g. ODEVIEW [DGJS95] SUPER [DAA 95] and PESTO [CHMW96] rely on the concept of synchronous navigation. Basically, the browsing interface of these systems consists of a canvas containing a set of forms 1 , each of them denoting either a single object or a collection of objects. A form denoting a single object is structured into lines, one per ....

....and browsing of data stored in databases. They concentrate on dynamically generating multiple hierarchical views for users to drill down to find required data. They allow selection predicates but do not consider keyword queries. Object oriented database browsers such as OdeView [1] and Pesto [5] provide navigation by clicking on object references, but do not support keyword search. Our system also provides more powerful browsing facilities. BBQ [11] presents an interface for blended browsing and querying but querying in BBQ requires the user to know the database schema.

.... visual interfaces have been designed and are provided by most commercial DBMS: schema browsers and editors, visual query languages, and data visualization tools (see [CCLB97] for a survey) Among data visualization tools we distinguish: ffl Data browsers [MDT88, PBL 92, DGJS95, DAA 95, CHMW96] which rely on simple interactional metaphors such as tables and forms. ffl Visual data analysis tools, which rely on more sophisticated interactional metaphors that are dedicated to knowledge extraction for a particular application domain [Kei97, CK98, SC98, FNPS99] In this paper, we propose a ....
....technique called pointwise temporal object browsing. The basic idea of this technique is to display a snapshot of a temporal object at a given instant. The user interacts with this representation, either by navigating through object relationships as in classical object browsers (e.g. PESTO [CHMW96] or by modifying the reference instant. The resulting interface stresses simultaneity by focusing on one instant at a time. It also supports the exploration of value changes, by providing interaction devices for jumping to the next previous instant where a change occurs in a given visualized ....
