An interface specification method for e-business applications

Specifying interface for e-business application is becoming complex because of its demanding functionality, a rapid advance in Web technology, and an increasing need of integration with legacy applications. All the recent developments call for a more methodical approach to e-business application interface. In this paper, we propose an interface specification method founded on the concepts of meta-information structure and information structure, as well as taking account of various page, link, and component types. They are rigorously utilized in the activities of the metainformation structure analysis and information structure analysis to arrive at a well-formed interface specification for e-business application.
