Managing metaphors for advanced user interfaces

User interface design includes designing metaphors, the essential terms, concepts, and images representing data, functions, tasks, roles, organizations, and people. Advanced user interfaces require consideration of new metaphors and repurposing of older ones. Awareness of semiotics principles can assist researchers in developing more efficient and effective ways to communicate to more diverse user groups.
