On the development of user interface systems for object-oriented database

In this paper we present a user interface system which provides a complete environment for improved browsing in object-oriented database management systems (OODBMSs). The system uses only the basic features of the object-oriented data model, so it can be associated to different OODBMSs. The design of our system is based on features that, in our opinion, should be present in any database user interface system. We present and discuss such features.
