Abstract
A query language allows the user to access data of the information system, e.g., for further processing, visualization, for backups, or to test a hypothesis by additional analysis. In any way, the acceptance of a query language depends on several design criteria. Snodgrass (1995, pp. 282–284) introduced six measures useful to make appropriate design decisions when specifying a language: expressive power, consistency, clarity, minimality, orthogonality, and independence.
