Paper Abstract:
|
Intertextual semantics (IS; Marcoux & Rizkallah, 2009) is one of several semiotic approaches for the design of information objects. It uses natural language shared among designer, developer, and users as an explicitation tool for developing an agreed upon, shared meaning for an artifact. So far, it has been applied constructively to the design of various data structures (documents, databases, etc.). It is also intended to be applicable to interface design, as well as to the deconstruction of artifacts (a posteriori analysis), but has never actually been used in such ways. This paper presents a first attempt at using IS for the design and analysis of interfaces. We discuss the rationale and basic principles for doing so, then exemplify the process by applying it to (part of) a search interface. |
