Abstract
In a previous paper we described a new user interface model. This paper discusses further a crucial part of the model called the application exposure. Assuming that the application side is built in an object-oriented way, the application exposure allows application objects to be defined much more independently of the user interface support system than has been possible using traditional subclassing approaches, yet provides sufficient application information to the user interface side to support direct manipulation operations on application objects.
