Abstract
There is provided an information processing apparatus which allows a user interface implemented in a description language such as XML or the like to re-use a widget. A user interface description document can describe a command to allocate a widget with reference to a widget description document that describes the definition of the widget of the user interface. When the user interface description document describes the command, the information processing apparatus refers to the widget description document and generates structured data which expresses the contents that integrate the user interface description document and widget description document. The apparatus displays the user interface based on the generated structured data, and executes an operation in response to an input event from the user.
