In this paper we present the graphical user interface of Mosaico, an environment for the analysis and conceptual modeling of Object-Oriented database applications. Mosaico is based on a formalism, the Object-Oriented conceptual language TQL++, that appears more friendly than others. Neverthless, to relieve the designer from knowing the details of TQL++, we developed an iconic interface that guides the construction of a database application specification. The output of the conceptual modeling phase is a knowledge base, which can be verified statically and, once transformed into executable code, can be tested with sample data. Furthermore, Mosaico is capable to present the content of a conceptual model in a diagrammatic form. This facility has been implemented within an abstract diagram approach, which guarantees a high level of independence with respect to the drawing tool.
