Abstract

Model-based user interface development environments show promise for improving the productivity of user interface developers, and possibly for improving the quality of developed interfaces. However, model-based techniques have rarely been applied to the important area of database interfaces. This lack of experience with data intensive systems may have led to model-based projects failing to support certain requirements that are essential in data intensive applications, and has prevented database interface developers from benefiting from model-based techniques. This paper presents a model-based user interface development environment for object databases, describing the models it supports, the relationships between these models, and tools used to construct interfaces using the models.
