Swoop: An Application Generator for ORACLE/WWW Systems
Andrew Hunter, Ian J. Ferguson, Steven Hedges · 1995
The development of a software package named Swoop is described. Swoop is designed to support the generation and maintenance of WWW information systems which store information in ORACLE databases: a so-called hyperbase program. The biggest problem with hyperbases is that they require a sophisticated program to interpret Forms, query appropriate databases, and merge information into hypertext. There is a clear need for application-generator tools which allow hyperbase programs to be constructed with minimal expertise on the part of the designer. It is this problem which Swoop addresses.
