Consider the VisKo query below:

SELECT visko:isosurfaces IN-VIEWER visko:firefox FROM http://rio.cs.utep.edu/HolesCodeFullPML/vel.3d FORMAT formats:BINARYFLOATARRAY TYPE types:d2

"visko:isosurface" refers to an existing instance of some view, but the semantics of the query are to generate this view. I believe we need to move towards a query that requires view "classes" not "instances." Then, the job of the VisKo query answering system would be to generate instances of the view class specified.
