Abstract

We describe a database management — data visualization integration based on the view concept. In general, views are descriptions of data transformations that enable more efficient interactions between user and data. Our intent is to use the view concept as the unifying link between the two systems, thereby enabling database interaction to be closely coupled with data visualization. We discuss the types of views used to realize the integration, and their implementation in our environment.
