چکیده

Thin-client diagramming tools provide a number of advantages over traditional thick-client design tools but are challenging to build. We describe an extension to a thick-client meta-tool that allows any specified diagram editor to be realised as a thin-client tool. A set of serverside components interact with the thick-client tool to generate GIF or SVG diagrams for both display and editing in a conventional web browser. We describe the motivation for our work, our novel architecture, illustrate and discuss interaction issues with the generated diagrams, and describe evaluations of the effectiveness of our approach.

Diagrams are widely used as abstract models of systems. The act of creating the initial diagram is a common problem solving strategy. Most diagrams are conceived and created with an old-fashioned pen on a piece of blank paper or a whiteboard. Current widget based tools, in contrast, are unsuitable for early design support because of the constraints they place on the user. Sketch diagramming too...

ActiveRaUL: Automatically Generated Web Interfaces for Creating RDF Data

The amount of automatically generated machine-readable data on the Web has significantly increased in recent years. This is in part due to the advent of Linked Data and its publishing tools that allowed the mapping of relational data to RDF. However, the amount of semantic Web data is still many orders of magnitude smaller than the World-Wide-Web, and this limits semantic Web applications. One ...
