Abstract
Data involving spatial and/or temporal attributes are often represented at different levels of granularity in different source schemata. In this work, a model of such multigranular data is developed, which supports not only the usual order structure on granules, but also lattice-like join and disjointness operators for relating such granules in much more complex ways. In addition, a model for multigranular thematic attributes, to which aggregation operators are applied, is provided. Finally, the notion of a thematic multigranular comparison dependency, generalizing ordinary functional and order dependencies but specifically designed to model the kinds of functional and order dependencies which arise in the multigranular context, and in particular incorporating aggregation into the definition of the constraint, is developed.

Abstract
An extention of the QBE language in the form of graph queries is proposed for databases having complex schemata. These graph queries provide user interface for the ER model, like QBE queries provide user interface for the relational model. The implementation and usage of graph queries of ER-based “MicroPoisk” DBMS are presented.

Abstract
The algebra–grammar model of user interface (UI) and the method of UI creation and updating by combining the visual formalisms are proposed. The UI building tools for applications of “MicroPoisk” DBMS are described. Special attention is paid to the requirements of the UI standards.
