Visual Knowledge Query Language
Summary :
Relational query languages like SQL and QUEL require the users to understand the complex detabase structure. This is a burden on end users, especially novice end users who access the database on a casual and infrequent basis. To alleviate the need to know the logical database origanization, this paper proposes the use of a semantic data model, known as the Enhanced Entity-Relationship (EER) model, as a front-end to the relational systems. A formal, high-level Visual Knowledge Query Language (VKQL) has also been designed for this interface. This language provides for knowledge abstraction as the user communicates only domain knowledge with the system without any implication on the storage structure or search strategies. A translation algorithm is also described in this paper to translate VKQL queries to Standard SQL equivalents.
