Using Multiple Representations for Easing Database Interaction (2007)
T. Catarci, M. F. Costabile, A. Massari, L. Saladini, G. Santucci
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...
