SEMANTIC APPROACH TO INFORMATION SYSTEM USER INTERFACE DESIGN

Svetlana Belikova, Yury Rogozov, Elena Borisova

Abstract

Currently, the design and development of the user interface is important, but at the same time, an empirical process. Despite the attempts of many authors to give recommendations on the correct design of the interface appearance, there are no recommendations on how to relate the domain and interface, and build the latter without losing the sense of the user's activity. Unlike the existing approaches in this area, the proposed approach to the semantic design takes into account the activity of the user in the domain, thereby solving the problem of domain meaning loss, solving the problem of the misunderstanding gap between the stakeholders of the user interface design process. Solving these problems will positively affect the efficiency of the designed interface. To assess this effectiveness, as well as to assess the quality of preserving the meaning of the subject area in the proposed approach, the article proposes to use the relevance criteria and the interface pertinence. The article describes the proposed approach, as well as conceptual model of the semantic design of the user interface is constructed. The proposed semantic approach assumes the construction of a model that will result from communication of all participants in the interface development process, including the user. As a result of the joint work of all participants in the interface design process, a model understood by all stakeholders will be obtained, in which a high-level description of the user's activity according to certain rules is decomposed by the developers until it contains all the necessary information. The requirements to the stakeholders joint model are also described in the paper
