Design and Implementation of a Graphic User Interface with Logical Zooming Functions for Browsing of Object-Oriented Databases

객체지향 데이타베이스의 검색을 위한 논리적 주밍기능을 가진 그래픽 사용자 인터페이스의 설계 및 구현

A graphic user interface for effectively browsing object-oriented databases in complex applications is designed and implemented. The rationale behind our design lies in enabling the users of various levels and needs to investigate the database according to their respective interests and desired depths. A novel idea in our design is the introduction of zooming techniques from a logical view, which vidualize the backbone abstraction concepts of the object-oriented data model. These objectives are verified by evaluating the results of its implementation.
