Abstract
The objective of this research is to develop a method to serve a generic and unified set of symbology (or words) to software UI elements where each symbol is backed by multi-view explanations to support comprehension. The problem of selecting appropriate symbols and words for the UI is solved by reusable components that are connected to a dictionary of common symbols and words. It is unique from other approaches such that the meaning of symbols is explained by a set of pictures that provide multiple explanations of the context, in other words, Multi-view Symbols. The method is realized by an online dictionary of Multi-view Symbols and a UI framework that provide seamless on-demand access to the dictionary. The design and implementation of the symbol and dictionary system is described and an example of embedding it into a client application is provided.
