Designing User Interfaces through Ontological User Model: Functional Programming Approach

Semantics and ontological framework defines standards for concepts presented through computational models. This framework can also provide standards for the concept representation at user interface level. A user model as the base of user interface can be built using formal ontologies. Language supporting higher order functions can be used to build graphical user interfaces by mapping the user defined model with typed graphical user interface controls. This paper discusses a strategy to present the standard concepts of computational model to user interface through ontological user model.
