Abstract
The Living In a Database system (LID) is a user-friendly
interface to an entity-relationship database. Its underlying
ideas are similar to Cattell's PDB [Cattell 80], but its
presentation is significantly different. LID uses a bit-mapped
graphics terminal with mouse pointer to create an attractive
interaction environment. Experience from the implementation
suggests that dynamic graphic displays - those which have
graphic symbols that change as the data they present change
- are an important feature in user interfaces but are difficult
to implement with current technology. The implementation also
uncovers an important inadequacy in the PDB/LID idea: the
inability to operate on sets of data instances in the same way as
individual data instances. An extension to LID is suggested to
alleviate the problem.
