Current object-oriented (OO) modelling techniques emphasise the static aspects of data objects. Dynamics in general and collaborations between objects in particular tend to be...
A framework for information visualisation
Journal Article
Kennedy, J., Mitchell, K., & Barclay, P. J. (1996)
A framework for information visualisation. SIGMOD record, 25, 30-34
In this paper we examine the issues involved in developing information visualisation systems and present a framework for their construction. The framework addresses the compon...
On temporal versioning in object oriented databases.
Journal Article
Lu, J., Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (1996)
On temporal versioning in object oriented databases. Informationssystem-Architekturen, 3, 38-40
This paper describes the development of the data model TVM which contains a new concept, temporal versioning. This generalises the ideas of temporal databases and version mana...
