Presenting a user interface in a computing system, where device-specific information is added to data defined generically with respect to a particular device or presentation technology. The generic definition can be provided via template representing data and functionality of a user interaction, which is presented to a user in a specific way on a specific user interface. A class can be derived in the user interface from the template and instantiated with data in accordance with particulars of a data type. Data can be presented via instructions representing basic presentation patterns defining how data is to be presented on a user interface. Identifications of the instructions are matched to instructions to generate instructions specific to a presentation environment.

Method and system for providing a user interface in a computer

A data enrichment and consumption framework enables defining data object consumption based on semantic aspects of the data object. Views, contexts, and associations of the data object are defined to dynamically render UI content based on interaction with the data object. Additionally, standard views can be defined to enable rapid development of UIs. The same data content is rendered in consistent ways across different devices and UI technologies.

Data consumption framework for semantic objects

Methods and apparatuses enable generation of data objects having properties that reflect business understanding and how the data objects are to be used. A user experience data object ('UX object') is semantically defined by object characteristics including actions, attributes, and relations needed to incorporate the UX object into one or more user interface (UI) contexts. The UI contexts are contexts from which the UX object will be accessed or in which it will be used. One or more UX object usages define object characteristics related to a specific context in which the UX object is to be accessed. A usage has business logic decoupled from the UX object, and is associated with the UX object. The UX object and one or more usages are provided to enable the UX object to be incorporated into a UI component that allows access to the UX object.
