Abstract
We describe the design, implementation and user evaluation of
QUIVER, a graph-based visual query language for object databases.
The design goals of QUIVER include compliance to standards,
comprehensive representational power, and consistency of visual
representation. Compliance to standards is achieved through
QUIVER queries being translated to OQL, the standard query
language proposed by the Object Data Management Group (ODMG).
Comprehensive representational power is gained by QUIVER
supporting a significant number of object database constructs,
including objects, literals, attributes, relationships, structures,
collections, operations, (aggregate) functions, and subqueries.
Consistency of visual representation is pursued by assigning similar
visual representations to constructs with similar functionality, as
well as by minimising the use of text in QUIVER queries. The
language is implemented as a visual front-end to the O2 object
database system. Results of a user evaluation suggest that users
find it easier to formulate correct queries in QUIVER than in OQL.
