A Data Modeling Approach to Simplify the Design of User Interfaces

Summary: Data-modeling techniques provide a single, coherent framework to uniformly represent all aspects of a user interface. Unique contribution: explicit semantic–syntactic separation and internal state objects with state transitions, enabling integration of diverse word-oriented natural-language interfaces.
