| Description | Structured Interfaces for Information Presentation deal with the integration of autonomous, heterogeneous information sources into complex systems providing the users with unified presentation of the stored data, and supporting data exchange among the participating sources. A system architecture for data interchange and uniform presentation is proposed, utilising canonical representation of data content and structure (with associated metadata) in a given application domain. Individual components of the architecture are the HMDL language (a description language for data and document models and transformations), the hyperdocument presentation form (user presentation form for objects and inter-object relationships defined by the HMDL document model), the representation graphs (specific classes of directed graphs with fixed classes of nodes and edges), and the meta-transformations (principles for automated transformation generating and a general meta-transformation form applied to typical classes of schematic heterogeneities among semantically similar objects), all illustrated on a running example. |
