Ffqi-fast Formulation Query Interface for Databases
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new query formulation interface called FFQI (Fast Formulation Query Interface) which is based on a semantic graph model. The query formulator allows the users with limited IT skills to query and explore the data source easily and efficiently. Here the user inputs are formulated based on the graph search algorithm by using the probabilistic popularity measure. The query ambiguity has been resolved through the ranking technique. We formulated the SELECT-PROJECT-JOIN queries using the aggregate functions. In additional to that we also implemented a formulation technique for image databases. Thus this interface allows user to interact with relational graph-type databases in an effective and easier way.

A Visual Query Language for Temporal Databases a Visual Query Language for Temporal Databases
This paper addresses the issue of visual query formulation for temporal databases. We introduce a number of visual constructs that allow users to build queries in a modular, bottom{up fashion based on a temporal Extended Entity{Relationship Model. These constructs are: Temporal projection, temporal selection, time links, ltering and set operators, and temporal aggregates. This paper also identi...
متن کاملDataGuides: Enabling Query Formulation and Optimization in Semistructured Databases
In semistructured databases there is no schema fixed in advance. To provide the benefits of a schema in such environments, we introduce DataGuides: concise and accurate structural summaries of semistructured databases. DataGuides serve as dynamic schemas, generated from the database; they are useful for browsing database structure, formulating queries, storing information such as statistics and...
متن کاملData-driven Visual Graph Query Interface Construction and Maintenance: Challenges and Opportunities
Visual query interfaces make it easy for scientists and other nonexpert users to query a data collection. Heretofore, visual query interfaces have been statically-constructed, independent of the data. In this paper we outline a vision of a different kind of interface, one that is built (in part) from the data. In our data-driven approach, the visual interface is dynamically constructed and main...
متن کاملTowards a New Visual Query Language for GIS
In recent years, many non-expert user applications have been developed to query Geographic Information Systems (GIS) that are used to browse and view data about space and time thus naming them spatio-temporal databases. Our research aims at designing and developing an International Visual Query Language (IVQL) that allows users to query databases based on their location. The databases are insta...
متن کاملTowards Graphical Query Notation for Semantic Databases
We describe a notation and a tool for schema-enabled visual/diagrammatic creation of SPARQL queries over RDF databases. The notation and the tool support both the standard basic query pattern comprising a main query class and possibly linked condition classes and means for aggregate query definition and placing conditions over aggregates including also aggregation of aggregate results. We discu...
