This paper documents the ongoing implementation of the VILD visual language interface to the object-oriented multimedia database system, MDBMS. We set forth the infrastructure on which VILD has been developed, and describe in detail the three sections of the language system which have been completed: the Schema Editor to define the database, the Frame Editor to edit and enter data, and the Browser to view the data. We conclude with the query implementation of VILD.
