I agree that the introduction document should give an indication of the relevant models and their relationships. By the way, I'm not able to attend the tomorrow audioconference because I'm travelling Best Fabio -----Messaggio originale----- Da: Sebastian Feuerstack [mailto:Sebastian@Feuerstack.org] Inviato: mercoledì 24 ottobre 2012 13:17 A: public-mbui@w3.org Oggetto: Re: Questions regarding the AUI diagram Dear Heiko, yes, it would be great to offer some kind of a big picture to ease people understanding how the models fit together. I think this should be part of the introduction document. The idea of my submission [1] was indeed to depict the relations between the models. Even if all models can be seen independently (GR1:Completeness) in practice it would be hard to design an AUI without even thinking about the actual domain (model). I absolutely agree with Jean, that the domain model is separate and independent - often it already exists (at least partially) even before an interface is designed. Thus, my proposal was to factor out of the "id" attribute of the AUI model to an "entity" that every other model element from every model is related to (e.g. by inheritance or association) and that is used to define mappings (and/or transformations) between elements of models. In my opinion, documentation, the domain model, the localization, and even the behaviour are not part of the AUI model (because these concepts are relevant for other models as well) but could be connected in an elegant way by using mappings. Pls. note that [1] was a submission of my personal understanding of the AUI to illustrate my idea and is neither complete nor a shared view between the group participants.

Looking at it with my "novice" hat on, seems to be the most confusing part when getting started with the MBUI specification drafts. > > Regards, Heiko -- Sebastian Feuerstack Department of Computer Science Federal University of Sao Carlos - Brazil http://www.feuerstack.org Check out MINT 2010 - the Multimodal INTeraction Framework http://www.multi-access.de
