Abstract
Usina data base systems for application oriented activities requires the development of suitable data base interfaces. In this paper the application support system which will be built on top of the distributed DBMS POREL is presented. Emphasis is placed on the structuring principles developed for the description of applications and corresponding application operators. These structuring principles result in graph structures which are generalized AND/OR graphs. Also discussed are the enduser functions which are based on this descriptive information.
