Re: Conceptual, Semantic, Syntactic and Lexical Design

Gilbert -

Thanks for your note. Your comment that conceptual applies to users and
everything else to the system seems dismiss the approach out of hand.
Don't we need to design these other levels? As Frank mentioned, there is
a strong correspondence with language, which of course is partly what
makes it an attractive model. If you are building something like a new
handheld device, for example, then I think it would be in order to
consider the problem at the lexical, syntactic and semantic levels. Do
you disagree? Is there a better model for this kind of design?

Also, while I am a big fan of Lucille Ball, I don't think she ever said
much about contextual constructs. Can you mention a few without ruining
the punch line<g>?

Regards,

William
