  Interactive visualization of astronomical catalogs requires novel techniques
due to the huge volumes and complex structure of the data produced by existing
and upcoming astronomical surveys. The creation as well as the disclosure of
the catalogs can be handled by data pulling mechanisms. These prevent
unnecessary processing and facilitate data sharing by having users request the
desired end products.
  In this work we present query driven visualization as a logical continuation
of data pulling. Scientists can request catalogs in a declarative way and set
process parameters directly from within the visualization. This results in
profound interoperation between software with a high level of abstraction.
  New messages for the Simple Application Messaging Protocol are proposed to
achieve this abstraction. Support for these messages are implemented in the
Astro-WISE information system and in a set of demonstrational applications.
