Designing Universal User Interfaces Through an Ontology-Based Method.

Abstract

In recenty ears, universal access has attracted considerable attention by the research communities, mainly from the perspective of system development. It comes from the fact that the design of user interfaces for all must cover design issues in multiple contexts fact that the design of user interfaces for all must cover design issues in multiple contexts domains of interest. E xistingd esign methods do not necessarily support designing such user interfaces. A new design method is presented for this purpose which allows a developer derives multiple user interfaces from models represented by an ontology of concepts, relationships, and attributes of the domain of discourse.
