Abstract
. We describe how deductive database technology can support data visualization. In particular we show how we have used the deductive languages LDL and CORAL for the implementation of the visual query language GraphLog. We discuss in detail the translation function from GraphLog to each of LDL and CORAL, considering aggregation as well. We also present an example of using GraphLog and its environment Hy + in order to support software design understanding. 1 Introduction The data used in new applications of database technology, such as CAD/CAM, hypertext, software development support, and network management, often have graph-like structures that can be exploited to provide visual presentations of the data and visual query mechanisms. Many of the operations that arise naturally in such visual environments involve pattern matching and finding and traversing paths of various kinds. Such operations are beyond the power of first-order query languages such as relational algebra and SQL; th...
