Xeena For Schema: Creating Xml Documents With A Coordinated Grammar Tree, Mark Sifer, Frithjof Dau, Helen Hasan, Kathryn Crawford, Yardena Peres, Yoelle Maarek

Dr Mark Sifer

The vast heterogeneous network that is the World Wide Web requires common languages to facilitate the exchange and display of data and information in many forms. The Word Wide Web Consortium (W3C) developed the extensible markup language (XML) for this purpose. XML documents are produced automatically by applications or manually by users. When users do not produce documents regularly or when document languages are large and complex, manual editing can be a challenge. In these situations, better manual editing facilities that guide users and ease the burden of learning and recalling XML languages are needed. We present an XML editor …


User Interfaces For The Exploration Of Hierarchical Multi-Dimensional Data, Mark Sifer Dec 2012

User Interfaces For The Exploration Of Hierarchical Multi-Dimensional Data, Mark Sifer

Dr Mark Sifer

A variety of user interfaces have been developed to support the querying of hierarchical multi-dimensional data in an OLAP setting such as pivot tables and more recently Polaris. They are used to regularly check portions of a dataset and to explore a new dataset for the first time. In this paper, we establish criteria for OLAP user interface capabilities to facilitate comparison. Two criteria are the number of displayed dimensions along which comparisons can be made and the number of dimensions that are viewable at once¿visual comparison depth and width. We argue that interfaces with greater visual comparison depth support …
