Abstract:
The user interface of the object oriented knowledge base system CAOBS/V1 2 is a visual query subsystem which composes a visual knowledge query language(VKQL),and a knowledge base browser/editor.With the visual query language,the user can express his query requirements by constructing query graph.VKQL absorbs the key features of other visual query languages,and owns its specific functions.The design and implementation of VKQL are described in the paper.And at the final section,VKQL is compared with other similar query languages in the world.
