Ideas for a query interface

Idea

We have a column with all the obects and apply a filter to get another column.

Filters could be

• contains text (in any attribute)
• contains text in a specific attribute
• has certain object type
• is directly related (to the (selected) objects)
  • not selecting anything and creating another column gives everything 2nd degree related
• is indirectly related (by a path)

The column is divided by object type.

• clicking on an object type selects the type as a filter

Unfolding the object type shows the selected instances.

• clicking on the instance selects the instance (show the direct relations in the next column?)

It should be possible to select attributes to display in the column. (Default own-value?)

Some objects would have more complex display rules, e.g. Witness showing author and title (from text).
