Abstract
Embodiments of the invention enable users of an abstract database to use logical fields that are relevant to a given model entity. In one embodiment, a user may be presented with a query interface that includes relevant fields, and which may be used to compose abstract queries. In another embodiment, the query interface may include an initial query result, and may include relevant fields for model entities included in the initial query result. The query interface may be configured to enable a user to perform subsequent query operations using the included relevant fields.
