Integrity Constraints for the Data-Oriented Design of the User Interfaces

Abstract

Declarative development of the presentation level of database-driven information systems was always a main goal for the development technologies. However, it is just partially attained, for a limited set of design patterns, while the general approaches still rely on procedural code. This paper formally defines a set of integrity constraints, as part of a presentation-purpose logical data model. The automatic enforcement of the respective integrity constraints constitutes the declarative support for any implementation technology of the proposed presentation model.
