SEMANTIC MODEL OF APPLICATION USER INTERFACES

The paper introduces a concept of modeling graphical user interfaces (GUIs) in applications us-ing semantic networks. It presents basic terms used to describe a user interface, shows their represent-ation in a form of an ontology and relations between the terms. It also explains the benefits of having a semantic model of a user interface and gives a simple example how this model can be used in prac-tice to generate implementation of the user interface for an arbitrary platform. The concept presented is a work in progress. 1
