Explicit vs. Implicit Authoring

Level of Abstractness or User-Centeredness

Amount of Background Knowledge, Information Source, Amount of Information

Where is the implementation?  client, server, proxy, mixes of these

Programming Concepts
    - Chaining & Composability

Level of semantics in the data
    - Required syntax (if any)

Sharing & Re-use...  Can you make something reusable, does it make sense to share, how do you share? one-to-one, community, Real-time vs. temporally distributed, what kind of people? strangers vs. people who know each other

Fragility: page changes, content changes, template changes

STUDY DIMENSIONS
Needs gathering vs. Post-hoc evaluation
Examining artifacts vs. talking to people
Were needs met?
Who generated the scenario? tool maker vs. user
What kind of task?  learnability, readability, debugging, development from scratch

Dependencies on Technology:  HTML, JavaScript, some specific AJAX toolkit, etc.  Some particular way that apps were built at the time

Contribution Dimension - What was original about this work when it came out?

Follow-on Projects:  Who built on this?  Who studied it?

Generic interface models: VCR, script, dataflow, storyboard
Graphical vs. textual
Programming paradigm: event-based,
Abstract vs. Concrete
visual feedback
