| What is the difference between two queries? |
LOGOS provides a way to textually describe a query. NLyze does something similar as part of its feedback mechanism. NLyze presents an interesting challenge: It shows the users multiple queries (along with their English representation). Users have to pick the one that best represents their desires. For me, there's an interesting UI thought question here: I don't want to have to sift through a bunch of prose to figure out whether the system is trying to figure out whether I'm referring to the "column total" or the "row total".
Is there a way to represent (in human-readable form) the difference between two queries?
Applications: Education (Teaching SQL, and other languages), Learning errors, etc...
Scope: The first steps towards this project (Literature Survey, a model for query deltas) are at least a 1+ year MS or PhD project. A full solution would be at least one full PhD project.
