Design of a query system and consistency checker for expert system maintenance using an intelligent database
Expert Systems have been around for quite a while. Their use is ever-increasing: from diagnosis to quality, from production and manufacturing to law. It takes time and efforts to develop an expert system. Knowledge engineering, the reduction of a large knowledge-domain to a to-the-point set of …

Visual query tools for uncertain data in space and time
The aim of our project was to develop query and visualisation tools for this archive of African art. Our query system had to be designed to cope with different degrees of uncertainty in data, both in time and space. One of our initial ideas was to use a geographic map to drive the interface to the …

Validation of queries to a relational database
… the problem of preventing users of a data base system from interrogating it with query language expressions which are syntactically and semantically valid but which do not match the user's intentions. A method of assisting users of a relational data base to formulate query language expressions …

Expressive query construction through direct manipulation of nested relational results
Despite extensive research on visual query systems, the standard way to interact with relational databases remains to be through SQL queries and tailored form interfaces. This makes the power of relational databases largely inaccessible to non-programmers. This thesis proposes a solution, in two …
