Advantages of our tool
• DESIGNERS PERSPECTIVE
– No queries
– Need not bother about information update once interaction
is defined
– Allows room for creativity
– Lesser effort in creating similar web-pages
– Visualizations help target on representation format of the
data
• USERS PERSPECTIVE
– Novice users can use it easily, no knowledge of queries and
database functioning required
– Users can finally assimilate information very easily
Future Work
• Can define more interaction sequences
• predefined in the tool
• user defined
• Work on displaying the final pages on a web
page
• Can incorporate some Visualization tools to
visualize the database
• Query Visualization for the database can be
provided
