Data-driven Visual Graph Query Interface Construction and Maintenance: Challenges and Opportunities

Visual query interfaces make it easy for scientists and other nonexpert users to query a data collection. Heretofore, visual query interfaces have been statically-constructed, independent of the data. In this paper we outline a vision of a different kind of interface, one that is built (in part) fro...
