Sound of Databases: Sonification of a Semantic Web Database Engine
Summary: A web application sonifies query processing, mapping relational operators to distinguishable sound patterns alongside visualizations. The approach makes operator behavior and constraints—such as merge joins requiring sorted inputs—more memorable and enables novel analysis of execution. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
