基于模型的界面设计可以通过从用于实现界面的模型自动生成帮助，并通过为开发人员提供一个框架来轻松地改进自动生成的帮助文本，从而节省在构建交互式应用程序的帮助系统方面的大量工作。本文介绍了一个系统，生成基于超文本的帮助有关的数据在应用程序显示，命令操作数据，和交互技术调用命令。细化组件提供了几个级别的定制，包括通过示例编程技术，让开发人员直接编辑系统生成的帮助窗口，以及细化帮助生成规则的可能性。
Model-based interface design can save substantial effort in building help systems for interactive applications by generating help automatically from the model used to implement the interface, and by providing a framework for developers to easily refine the automatically-generated help texts. This paper describes a system that generates hypertext-based help about data presented in application displays, commands to manipulate data, and interaction techniques to invoke commands. The refinement component provides several levels of customization, including programming-by-example techniques to let developers edit directly help windows that the system produces, and the possibility to refine help generation rules.
