Catarci, Tiziana, Costabile, Maria Francesca, Massari, A., Saladini, L. and Santucci, G. (1996): A Multiparadigmatic Environment for Interacting with Databases. In ACM SIGCHI Bulletin, 28 (3) pp. 89-96

We present a prototype system to be used for visually accessing heterogeneous databases. The basic idea is to provide the user with several visual representations of data as well as multiple interaction mechanisms for both querying databases and visualizing the query results. Since some visual representations better fit certain user classes, the system adapts to the user's needs by switching to the most appropriate visual representation and interaction mechanism, according to a suitable user model. The data and query representations are consistent in every paradigm. Such a notion of consistency stems from formal basis, i.e. a twofold data/representation model, namely the Graph Model, and a set of basic Graphical Primitives. This formal approach allows the user to switch from one interaction paradigm to another, always saving the query state.

Angelaccio, M., Catarci, Tiziana and Santucci, G. (1989): QBD*: A Graphical Query Language with Recursion. In: Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction 1989. pp. 384-391.

One of the main problems in the database area is to define query languages characterized by both high expressive power and ease of use. In this paper, we propose a system to query databases, using diagrams as standard user interface. The system, called Query by Diagram* (QBD*), makes use of a conceptual data model, a query language on this model and a graphical user interface. The conceptual model is the Entity-Relationship Model; the query language, whose expressive power allows recursive queries, supports visual interaction. The main characteristics of the interface are the ease of use, and the availability of a rich set of primitives for schema selection and query formulation.

As a rule, software systems do not work well until they have been used, and have failed repeatedly, in real applications.
