Abstract
We demonstrate a visual User Interface Management System (UIMS) we built for our ODBMS, Perspective-DB [2]. The interface is generic because the presentation is based on an object model, it is canonical because the presentation of the object model is graphical; it is schematic because the database structure and contents are represented by the same constructs of the graphical model. The interface serves developers as well as professional and novice end-users. Iris is a commercial timetabling system built on Perspective-DB. We will demonstrate that the concepts of the UIMS support the complete timetabling process.
