Semantic Components

This section of the OpenStructs Web site provides rather complete documentation for the Semantic Components, our ontological driven user interface framework.

A semantic component is a Flex component that takes record(s) description(s) and irXML schema(s) as input, and that output some (possibly interactive) visualization(s) of that record. Depending on the logic described in the input schema(s) and the input record(s) description(s), the semantic component will behave differently to optimize its presentation to the users. The semantic components are available from the Semantic Component (Flex) Library. It is designed to be expanded and is available under Apache2 license.
