....Work In the eld of database design the issue of user interfaces has not attracted much attention [3] Recent research in this eld is either concerned with the coupling of DBMSs and tools such as speci c editors, report and mask generators, repositories etc. or with extensions of general UIMSs [22, 33]. For example, O2Look [6] is a graphical interface for the O 2 system which allow graphical object presentations to be de ned by the user; similar tools have been developed for GOOD [14] The DUET project [8] provides speci c libraries with database speci c graphical primitives combined with ....

....for the more common Lisp arithmetic commands. More complex constraints are not likely to be attempted by non programmers anyway. Since the programmers are likely to already know Lisp (because the application is written in it) there is a tremendous disadvantage to making them learn a new language [36].

....has many theoretical drawbacks. In practice, also, experience of using grammars has not been positive. Two complaints are voiced. Firstly, specifying the dialogue in a separate language or formalism from the application functionality is often difficult. SYNGRAPH was not widely used for this reason [94]. The only real solution is to generate the dialogue automatically. Green [40] proposes this, but there are few prototypes [87] Secondly, parsing user input according to the grammar often presents problems. Hekmatpour and Woodman complain of this [52] In recent papers, Olsen, Hudson, and Hill ....
....Green [40] proposes this, but there are few prototypes [87] Secondly, parsing user input according to the grammar often presents problems. Hekmatpour and Woodman complain of this [52] In recent papers, Olsen, Hudson, and Hill have strongly criticised the syntactic approach to input. Olsen [94] thinks that ease of use is often more critical to the success of a UIMS than syntactic capability. Having used syntactic input parsing in the SYNGRAPH and GRINS, Olsen s latest system, MIKE [92] abandons the syntactic component. Coutaz similarly abandons the single dialogue component in her PAC ....
