In this paper we investigate what is needed to make user interface builders incrementally refinable. The need for dedicated user interface builders is motivated by drawing a parallel with programming language design and object-oriented application frameworks. We show that reflection techniques borrowed from the programming language community can be successfully applied to make user interface bu...

A number of German virtual subject libraries cooperate to establish “The German Virtual Library.” To enable cross-searching and crossbrowsing over their distributed resources, they decided to develop a metadata application profile, based on the DCMES. The answers to a questionnaire were evaluated to figure out which elements were supported by the individual partners. This paper describes the ap...

In many scenarios, buyers need to make repeated calls to the seller’s API. The challenge is then for buyers to keep track of the data they purchase and avoid purchasing the same data twice. In this...
