Abstract

The Semantics-Knowledgeable Interface (Ski) is designed to provide a powerful - but usable - interface to databases. To do this, it combines the expressiveness of semantic models, the broad communications "bandwidth" of graphics, and a novel approach to the representation and manipulation of database schemas.
