面向对象数据库系统的图形用户界面

Graphical User Interface for Object-oriented Database System

图形用户界面在数据库系统中的地位变得越来越重要 ,这是因为它提高了数据库应用的可用性。图形用户界面的功能与易用性是由基本数据模型的可表达性和复杂度决定的。随着基于功能强大的数据模型 (如面向对象数据模型 )的新数据库技术的问世 ,用户界面设计领域又掀起了新的挑战 ,也提供了新的机会。本文重点对面向对象数据库系统的图形用户界面开发的有关问题作分析讨论。

Graphical user interfaces have become very important for database Systems because they increase the usability of these applications. The functionality and ease of use of the graphical user interface depend on the expressiveness and complexity of the underlying data model. With the advent of new database technology based on powerful data models like the object oriented data model, new challenges and new opportunities are posed in user interface design. In the paper critcal issues of graphical user interface development for object-oriented database systems are discussed.
