“…"A form is an information holding object" [27, p. 500] and a context-specific view on data stored in a database [31,36]. In literature, there is a comprehensive amount of work specifying different levels of granularity on and components of forms [22,27,30,34,35,36].…”

“…To avoid ambiguity, we will refer to these groups as field groups in the following. Fields represent attributes of data entities and can be used to input and update data or present and output data [36]. A field can be further described with properties such as its caption, position on the form, data type such as integer, date or string, and the length of the field.…”

“…A general-purpose visualization system for nested relations data would be of direct utility to any one of many [15,29,27,28,16,2] previously proposed database user interfaces based on structured hierarchical views. To scope our problem, we limit ourselves to the task of displaying simple textual data that has been pre-organized to conform to some hierarchical but non-recursive schema.…”

Fig. 1. Interactive adaptation of the layout of the data to be displayed, based on the available horizontal width of an on-screen window.Abstract-Domain-specific database applications tend to contain a sizable number of table-, form-, and report-style views that must each be designed and maintained by a software developer. A significant part of this job is the necessary tweaking of low-level presentation details such as label placements, text field dimensions, list or table styles, and so on. In this paper, we present a horizontally constrained layout management algorithm that automates the display of structured hierarchical data using the traditional visual idioms of hand-designed database UIs: tables, multi-column forms, and outline-style indented lists. We compare our system with pure outline and nested table layouts with respect to space efficiency and readability, the latter with an online user study on 27 subjects. Our layouts are 3.9 and 1.6 times more compact on average than outline layouts and horizontally unconstrained table layouts, respectively, and are as readable as table layouts even for large datasets.

Using a conceptual data language to describe a database and its interface

Abstract. We propose a conceptual approach to defining interfaces to databases which uses the features of a fully object oriented data language to specify interface objects combined with database objects. This achieves a uniform, natural way of describing databases and their interfaces. It is shown how this language can be used in the role of data definition and, when combined with interface classes, in the definition of database interfaces. A prototype developed to test this approach is presented.
