Playful Query Specification with DataPlay
Summary: DataPlay is a graphical query-specification tool targeting difficult quantification queries through trial-and-error interaction. It exposes non-answers alongside answers and uniquely supports semantic-variation suggestions and example-driven query correction. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
