FORM OPERATION BY EXAMPLE -- a Language for Office Information Processing
Summary: FOBE is a high-level, nonprocedural language for manipulating forms in office systems, grounded in a form data model. It applies query-by-example to forms, offers precise semantics with a fixed structure, and blends procedural and nonprocedural styles for user-friendly, powerful office information processing.
