Abstract :
The IconicBrowser, which allows the user to retrieve objects in a database by means of icons, is described. Icons represent classes and objects in the database. Queries are specified by overlapping one icon over another. The system then interprets them into database operations, depending on their combination. At the same time, the system generates predicate-based (text-base) queries which can be used in other applications of the database
