....and, where relevant, showing how they tackle identified query language problems. The Kaleidoquery language is described independent of any implementation details; an implementation of Kaleidoquery in a 3D environment is described in [30] The 3D implementation was designed using the framework of [29]. This paper reports the complete Kaleidoquery language and its underlying design philosophies, along with the comparative evaluation of Kaleidoquery and OQL. The lack of a generally accepted and widely supported query language probably had a significant effect in slowing the uptake of early ....

....avg salary:avg(select x.salary from x in partition) 50000 IMPLEMENTATION The Kaleidoquery language has been described independent of any implementation details. In this section we briefly describe Kaleidoscape, the 3D implementation of Kaleidoquery that has been designed using the framework in [16]. We have chosen to implement the language in a three dimensional environment as we wanted to examine the impact of the utilisation of differing forms of hardware ranging from the standard monitors and desktop mice to head mounted displays, 3D mice and auto stereoscopic displays. A belief exists ....

....These queries are then translated into the ODMG standard textual query language OQL for evaluation, the results of which can be viewed and browsed from within the Kaleidoscape environment. Keywords visual query language, 3D, OQL, ODMG, results visualisation 1 INTRODUCTION Kaleidoquery (Murray, Paton Goble 1998) is a visual query language for ODMG (Object Data Management Group) compliant object databases (Cattell et al. 1997) Queries created with Kaleidoquery can be translated into ODMG version 2.0 Object Query Language (OQL) This allows implementations of Kaleidoquery to be used with any object ....
....with Kaleidoquery can be translated into ODMG version 2.0 Object Query Language (OQL) This allows implementations of Kaleidoquery to be used with any object database that conforms to the ODMG standard. Kaleidoscape is the 3D implementation of Kaleidoquery that was designed using the framework in (Murray, Goble Paton 1998). We chose to implement Kaleidoquery in a 3D environment in order to assess any benefits gained and problems found when using 3D visualisations that utilise the human perception system s ability to understand full three dimensional volumetric space, and to examine the impact of differing forms of ....
