An Empirical Investigation of Object-Oriented Query Writing for Three User Groups Using Casual Map

Understanding human's information processing for information retrieval task has contributed to the advancements of database modelling and user interaction design. In particular, the query writing model proposed by Ogden has improved our understanding on core steps in writing a relational databa...
