Ontology-based modularization of user interfaces

Modularization is almost the only feasible way of implementing large-scale applications. For user interfaces, interactions involving more than one module generate dependencies between modules. In this paper, we present a framework that uses ontologies for building UIs from independent, loosely coupled modules. In an example scenario, we show how that framework is used to build an application for emergency management.
