1. PRESENTED BY: Yongjie Fang Xue Li Ian Stuart ADVISOR: Dr. Tuohy Software Engineering Fall 2002 Genealogy System

2. Genealogy System • Web-based application for family trees and genealogical information • Allows groups to work on common projects instead of funneling work through a single person • Features an intuitive GUI for data entry and tree navigation

3. Genealogy System Registration and Login: • Users create personal accounts • A user may have access to several trees at once • Any user may initiate a new tree project, becoming the tree’s “administrator”

4. Genealogy System Creating a Tree: • The system creates a unique ID for every new tree a user creates • The creator/administrator of a new tree may determine the access rights of any other user invited to participate • Modification allowed (read/write access) • Viewing only (read-only access)

5. Genealogy System Growing a Tree: • Family trees “grow” by defining relationships that new members have to existing members within each tree • Parents • Children • Spouses/Partners • Unique IDs are assigned to each new member • Relationships are defined automatically

6. Genealogy System Displaying a Tree: • Every family member of a tree can become the focus of tree display • Ancestors • Descendants • Family trees can be multi-dimensional • The system encourages a unified effort to tree development instead of multiple trees

7. Genealogy System Data Representation: • Five tables are used • Users • Trees • Members • Users -> Trees • Trees -> Members • Relationships between members defined by recursive reference to member IDs
