Abstract User Interface Markup Language
Roland Merrick, Brian Wood, William Krebs
Abstract
The ever increasing variety of devices available to users means that it is not economically viable to develop
tailored user interfaces for each device. This paper describes an XML Vocabulary, Abstract User Interface
Markup Language (AUIML), which has been developed to allow some classes of interactive application to
be developed once and adapted to run on a wide variety of device types. The language does not take
the lowest common denominator approach while using abstraction to describe the user interface. This
allows device dependent adaptation to take place when rendering.
