OdeView: The Graphical Interface to Ode

Summary: Introduces OdeView, a graphical front end to Ode enabling schema exploration, class browsing, and object navigation via reference chains with projection and selection of object fragments. Its architecture is decoupled from object internals and GUI specifics, enabling new classes without recompilation and GUI-agnostic display. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
