ABSTRACT:: Visualization management systems which integrate
database management, data visualization, and graphical
user-interface generation into one package are becoming
essential tools for conducting science. Unfortunately,
the link between data management and data visualization
is not very well understood. To make matters worse, most
database management systems available today are not well-
suited for handling large, time-sequenced data sets that
are common to many scientific disciplines. The reason for
this shortfall is that most database systems do not use an
appropriate data model, are not geared toward real-time
operation, and they have inadequate user-interfaces. Hints
as to how database systems can fix these problems are
given so that effective visualization management systems
can be constructed.
