Thank you for visiting UIML.org! We are happy to report that work on UIML has been transitioned into the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS), an international body specializing in the standardization of XML-based technologies, which now controls the UIML specification. For the most recent news on UIML and updated UIML specifications please visit the OASIS UIML Technical Committee's website. UIML.org will remain active as an archive for visitors to access older versions of the UIML specifications and UIML-based tools which can be accessed in specifications and tools, respectively.
Today, UIML is being
standardized by OASIS. Contributors to the evolution of UIML are welcome through
the OASIS
UIML Technical Committee.
Our goal is to create
an open standard user interface description language in XML that can be
freely implemented by anyone. The motivation is to facilitate better tools
for creation of user interfaces that work on any platform available today,
but which also will allow today's legacy user interfaces to evolve to
new forms for use on platforms that are created years from now.
Work started in 1997
to define a canonical meta-language that can describe any user interface
in a manner that is device-independent and user interface metaphor independent.
UIML can describe user interfaces that are popular today -- for traditional
desktop, web, mobile, embedded, and voice applications. UIML can also
describe user interface for custom devices or devices that are invented
in the future. For developers using multi-tier development, UIML describes
the presentation layer.
