Personalization of user interfaces for browsing XML content using transformations built on end-user requirements

Published: 07 May 2007 Publication History

Abstract

Personalization of user interfaces for browsing content is a key concept to ensure content accessibility. In this direction, we introduce concepts that result in the generation of personalized multimodal user interfaces for browsing XML content. Users requirements concerning the browsing of a specific content type can be specified using user-friendly description languages. According to these specifications, transformation rules are generated in order to produce personalized user interfaces for browsing specific content types. With the emergence of the semantic Web and connected XML applications, such customized multimodal user interfaces can be useful for many kinds of users, especially individuals with various type of impairment.
