User interface standardization

The UsiXML ITEA 2 project developed an innovative model-driven engineering method to improve the user interface design for the benefit of both industrial and academic end-users in terms of productivity and reusability. The goal of UsiXML was to define, validate, and standardise an open user interface description language (UIDL), increasing productivity and reusability, and improving usability and accessibility. The development efforts in UsiXML resulted in a draft submitted to W3C and were rewarded with the ITEA Excellence Award 2013 for standardization.
