Abstract
CANDID is the name of a project that has for goal the definition and the implementation of a graphical interface for database manipulation. It is based on a conceptual semantic model. This paper deals with the implementation which is achieved through an object oriented kernel. This kernel is based on a uniform model with one kind of objects and one kind of control structures. To facilitate the development, the kernel is enriched by a multiwindowing graphical toolbox and an extended set of algebraic operators.
