Abstract
An authoring system for building an application that has a set of graphical objects and is for performing several operations on several graphical objects in response to several user interaction events. The authoring system includes (1) a first set of tools for defining a first description of a first operation that is to be performed on a first graphical object and (2) a second set of tools for defining a second description of a second operation that is to be performed on a second graphical object. The second set of tools provides at least one different tool for defining the second description than the first set of tools provides for defining the first description. The authoring system also includes a conformance module for modifying at least one of the received descriptions to ensure that the descriptions of both the first and second operations are in a uniform description format.
