The WILLOW project developed a uniform graphical user interface for information databases, improving search retrieval through iterative user analysis and a client-server model. This collaborative effort enhances access to diverse university data.

Area of Science:

  • Computer Science
  • Information Science
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Developing a unified interface for diverse informational databases presents significant challenges.
  • Existing systems often lack a consistent and user-friendly graphical presentation.
  • The University of Washington initiated a collaborative project to address these issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and develop a uniform graphical user interface (GUI) for accessing disparate information databases.
  • To create an intuitive search retrieval system that replicates a natural user flow.
  • To foster collaboration among various university departments for interface development.

Main Methods:

  • Employing a collaborative development process involving multiple university units.
