A flexible model for improving the reuse of user interface design patterns
Jordan Janeiro, Simone Diniz Junqueira Barbosa, Thomas Springer, Alexander Schill · 2010
Despite being a set of proven, well-documented, contextualized recommendations for solving frequently occurring user interface design problems, user interface design patterns are still not widely used. We believe this is due to the lack of tools to help designers find patterns and identify how they can be combined to solve user interface design problems. This paper proposes a flexible model to represent UIDPs and their relationships. The flexibility of our model, based on RDF Statements, is to provide a structure to the representation of the UIDPs in order to allow the development of tools to automate their use.
