User interface specification in complex web-based information spaces

The development of complex web-based information spaces faces very demanding challenges. Requirements analysis and design demands interdisciplinary modelling approaches. When using typical paper-based methods, an IT organization often experiences frustrating communication issues between teams as well as with suppliers. We present a toolkit for XML-based prototyping of corporate websites at Daimler AG. The approach beats a new path towards interactive specifications of user interface (UI) requirements and the substitution of paper-based artifacts.
