SOPView+: an object browser which supports navigating database by changing base object

Abstract

In this paper, we present the design and implementation of SOPView+, a n object browser that supports navigating a large database by changing base object. Base object is a n object which is a basis for navigation; forward navigation is provided for the reference paths ahead of the base object and backward navigation for the ones behind it. SOPView+ allows users t o change the base object along the reference hierarchy among a number of database objects; this makes it possible for them t o explore a large database until they find objects of their interest o n the limited screen space, solving the screen real estate problem. SOPView+ also supports extended synchronized browsing, which synchronizes displaying objects along both forward and backward navigational paths.

“…This section explores some systems that share similarities with the web system introduced in this paper. The analyzed systems include common object request broker architecture (CORBA) web [7], SOP View+ [8], portable explorer of structured objects (PESTO) [9], CORBA object browser [10], and Apache Axis2 [11]. A comparison of these systems is provided, along with a brief overview of the features that were considered during the analysis.…”

“…SOP View+ [8] is a project that aims to create an object browser and viewer with a focus on querying and managing object-oriented databases. This system enables users to navigate the database of objects, locate their desired items, retrieve their information, and view them in a graphical presentation.…”
