Introduction
Database researchers have striven to improve the capability of a database in terms of both
performance and functionality. We believe that the usability of a database is as important as its
capability. However, modern database systems are very difficult to
use. In the MUSIQ (Model-driven Usable Systems for Information
Querying) project, we address some of the challenges in making
database systems more usable. In particular, our focus is on
issues in the data modeal and database design, rather than in
issues of graphical user interface design.
For an overview of the issues, please download Prof. Jagadish's
keynote
talk at SIGMOD 2007 and the accompanying
paper, or watch the video.
