Prototyping Visual Database Interface by Object-Oriented Language

Abstract

A graphics user interface called GLAD (Graphics Language for Database) has been proposed as a unified interface method for interaction with a database. The GLAD interface is a graphic object-orient environment which provides a rich intuitive interaction for the user. The interface between GLAD and the user is accomplished through the use of an Object-Oriented Language (OOL). Predefined classes in an OOL provide a robust capacity for quick prototype implementation. The thrust of this thesis is to describe the current status of the GLAD implementation and show how the use of an Object-Oriented Language is an effective tool for implementation of the GLAD interface.
