Abstract

FaceKit is an interface design toolkit for objectoriented databases. By combining techniques from the realm of User Interface Management Systems (UIMS) with a built-in knowledge about the specific kinds of techniques used by object-oriented databases, we have designed a system that allows a user to customize a database interface with minimal programming. Knowledge about object-oriented database constructs such as classes, groupings,etc., allows FaceKit to semi-automatically create graphical constructs appropriate to the object-oriented database environment. FaceKit is built on top of Cactis, an object-oriented database management system (DBMS), and is capable of creating interfaces that deal with Cactis both at the schema and data level.
