Graphical query languages for semantic database models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Graphical representations of database schemas such as entity-relationship diagrams are commonly used to support database design. In this paper we discuss graphical representations of semantic data models and their application to interactive query languages. Operators that are appropriate for graphical query formulation are defined for several semantic data models. We also discuss a general method for implementing graphical interfaces to database systems that can be applied to a wide range of semantic data models.

On Graph Based Interaction for Semantic Query Languages
In the last years, several proposals have been presented concerning graphical query languages working on diagrammatic representations of semantic data models. Such proposals are mainly based on two different user interaction modalities, i.e., to allow the user to specify either a path or a view on the database schema . In this paper we analyze these two strategies, showing that they are charact...
متن کاملAnalysis of User query refinement behavior based on semantic features: user log analysis of Ganj database (IranDoc)
Background and Aim: Information systems cannot be well designed or developed without a clear understanding of needs of users, manner of their information seeking and evaluating. This research has been designed to analyze the Ganj (Iranian research institute of science and technology database) users’ query refinement behaviors via log analysis.

متن کاملRDF-GL: A SPARQL-Based Graphical Query Language for RDF
In an era of ever-increasing information needs, the ability to query large databases quickly and efficiently has come to play a major part. For a large share, this growing need is addressed by tools and languages aimed at performing complex queries on distributed data. However, the intuitiveness of designing such complex queries has only been addressed to a limited extent, making such tools ava...
متن کاملGLOO: A Graphical Query Language for OWL Ontologies
The database usability experience has shown that visual query languages tend to be superior to textual languages in many aspects. By applying this principle in the context of ontologies, we present GLOO, a graphical query language for OWL-DL ontologies. GLOO maps diagrammatic queries to DL based query languages such as nRQL, which is offered by the OWL-DL reasoner Racer. GLOO hides the complexi...
متن کاملVisAVis: An Approach to an Intermediate Layer between Ontologies and Relational Database Contents
This paper introduces an approach to mapping relational database contents to ontologies. The current effort is motivated by the need of including into the Semantic Web volumes of web data not satisfied by current search engines. A graphical tool is developed in order to ease the mapping procedure and export enhanced ontologies linked to database entities. Moreover, queries using semantic web qu...
