An Entity-based Database User Interface
Summary: Proposes an entity-based UI for casual, interactive data access, shifting focus from relations to entities and their connections. Demonstrates a PDB (ZOG) where entity-centric display, views, and knowledge-based assistance support browsing and complement traditional query interfaces. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
