Tioga: Providing Data Management Support for Scientific Visualization Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a user interface paradigm for database management systems that is motivated by scientific visualization applications. Our graphical user interface includes a “boxes and arrows” notation for database access and a flight simulator model of movement through information space. We also provide means to specify a hierarchy of abstracts of data of different types and resolutions, so that a “zoom” capability can be supported. The underlying DI3MS support for this system is described and includes the compilation of query plans into megaplans, new algorithms for data buffering, and provisions for a guaranteed rate of data delivery. The current state of the Tioga implementation is also de-

متن کاملExtending a Graphical Query Language to Support Updates, Foreign Systems, and Transactions
In [STON93] we proposed a new user interface paradigm called Tioga for interacting with database management systems. Tioga simplifies the task of building database applications and is geared especially towards the needs of scientific users. We borrow the "boxes and arrows" visual programming notation of scientific visualization systems and allow users to graphically construct applications by us...

متن کاملVIQING: Visual Interactive Querying
This paper presents VIQING, an environment for expressing queries via direct manipulation of data visualizations. VIQING provides a simple graphical interface for connecting visualizations, and has the expressive power of the basic relational operators select, project and join. VIQING has been implemented in the Tioga DataSplash visualization system to provide a seamless integration of querying...
متن کاملThe Tioga-2 Database Visualization Environment
This paper reports on user experience with Tioga, a DBMScentric visualization tool developed at Berkeley. Based on this experience, we have designed Tioga-2 as a direct manipulation system that is more powerful and much easier to program. We present a detailed design of the revised system together with an extensive example of its application. We also give a progress report on a Tioga-2 implemen...
