Multimodal Database Query

The paper proposes a multimodal interface for a real sales database application. We show how natural language processing may be integrated with a visual, direct manipulation method of database query, to produce a user interface which supports a flexible form of query specification, provides implicit guidance about the coverage of the linguistic component, and allows more focused discourse reference.
