Abstract
The DPI model (Documents, Presentations, Instruments) offers an alternative to current application-centred environments by introducing a conceptual model based on documents and interaction instruments. DPI makes it possible to edit a document through multiple simultaneous presentations. The same instrument can edit different types of content, facilitating interaction and reducing the user’s cognitive load. DPI includes a functional model, aimed at the user interface designer, that describes implementation principles in terms of properties, services and representations. The DPI model offers a first but essential stage in designing and implementing a new generation of document-centred environments based on a new interaction paradigm.
