- Abstract
- In this paper we present a multimodal design concept for a materials information system interface. The project WING-IIR combines both form-oriented and natural language database in a GUI-based environment, giving the user a choice of query modes. Our design is embedded in a tool-based, object oriented structure which allows for adequate interpretation and usability for both, novice and expert users. Implementing context-sensitivity and transparency between query modalities and different levels of data granularity further help in solving difficult materials problems. In addition a number of different Intelligent Information Retrieval (IIR) modules complement the basic database interface: a stereotype-based user model reduces interface complexity by adapting to the users' actual interests; the WING-GRAPH component allows for graphical retrieval of materials curves, i.e. users may manipulate graphical data representations in order to query the database and a fuzzy-WING component is proposed for modelling vagueness in natural language queries as well as for vague interpretation of seemingly exact queries
