Abstract

Nowadays generic database systems (such as accounting and financial software, customer relationship management systems, logging and tracking software...) provide mostly forms and menu based interfaces that do not take advantage of the graphic and interactive capabilities of current hardware. This is because the data they handle does not have intrinsic visual representations upon which direct manipulation principles could be used. This article presents how we have extended an information visualization framework which allows to create and to interactively transform easily rich data views, with generic data manipulation functions tuned to take advantage of each view's characteristics. These editing capabilities enable us to generalize the mechanisms of direct manipulation to address all sorts of massive abstract data manipulation needs.
