GUIDE: Graphical User Interface for Database Exploration

Summary: Graphical interface for database exploration; schema as a network of entities/relationships; queries as traversal paths. Local queries are formed graphically and linked to build larger ones, with intermediate results available; zoomable schema views and level-of-detail control.
