Abstract :
A graphical interaction environment for knowledge bases that provides for a tailorable default user interface is presented. It gives the knowledge engineer the ability to define several kinds of customizations. These customizations can be defined within the same object-oriented knowledge representation language as the one used to model the rest of the application, thus freeing the knowledge engineer from the task of learning a complex special-purpose language. This language has been extended by introducing a collection of predefined graphical object classes which are useful to describe user interfaces
