From an Ontology-Oriented Approach Conception to User Interface Development

* The presented work has discussed on the KDS-2003. It has corrected in compliance with remarks and requests of participants.

The paper describes a new approach to user interface development which is an evolution of the model-based approach. The aim of the new, ontology-based approach is to eliminate the demerits of demerits of the model-based approach but to conserve its merits and, as a consequence, to lower more the cost of user interface development and maintenance. The main idea of our approach is to exchange models of different interface components for corresponding ontologies. The ontology models accessible by the Internet are used to form the models of there components.
