UsiXML

UsiXML (USer Interface eXtensible Markup Language) is an XML-based markup language for defining user interfaces on computers.

UsiXML is specification language for user interface design. It allows the designer to describe a user interfaces at different level of abstractions. In other word you can specify a UI in terms of functionality (task analysis), object it manipulates or, in a more concrete way, you can draw user interface.

The UsiXML language is currently being submitted for a standardisation plan to the W3C.

A separate work with the same job is UIML. [cite web| url = http://www.uiml.org/|title = UIML.org|accessdate = 2006-07-21]
