| Abstract |
|
The lack of a facility that would allow non-programmers
to easily formulate temporal ad hoc
analyses over a network of heterogeneous, constantly-updated
data sources has been a significant
impediment to research, particularly in the scientific
community. In this paper we describe WebFormulate,
an Internet-based system which facilitates the
development of analyses using information obtained
from databases on the Internet. The main distinction
between this system and existing Internet facilities to
retrieve information and assimilate it into
computations is that WebFormulate provides the
necessary facilities to perform continual queries,
developing and maintaining dynamic links such that
computations and reports automatically maintain
themselves. A further distinction is that this system is
specifically designed for users of spreadsheet-level
ability, rather than professional programmers.
