Zusammenfassung

Das erweiterte NF2-Datenmodell läßt als Attributwerte auch wieder strukturierte Objekte (Tabellen, Listen, Tupel) zu. Es eignet sich daher besonders für Nichtstandardaufgaben im Ingenieurbereich, aber auch für die Formularbearbeitung in der Büroautomation. Das hier vorgestellte System ESCHER ist ein Versuchsträger zur Erprobung einer interaktiven, graphischen Schnittstelle für die Darstellung und Manipulation komplexer Objekte auf der Basis dieses Datenmodells. Der Bericht schildert die Grundkonzeption und bisherigen Erfahrungen mit ESCHER.
