A Query Interface for Ubiquitous Access to Database Resources
Subhash Bhalla, Masaki Hasegawa · Conference on Management of Data · 2006
Most information systems depend on a Database Management System (DBMS) to organize information. Access to such an information system is based on use of a database query language on the part of the user. This poses user skills (or skill levels), as problem. For example, for medical staff at a hospital, users can not spare time to learn a database query language. As a result medical staff tend to depend on specialists, and programmers for access to information. To eliminate the complexities of a query language and to make a ubiquitous access a web based information access system has been proposed for the end users. In many cases, the proposed system allows semi-skilled personnel pose queries at the same level as a trained database query language programmer.
