Abstract

In this paper we demonstrate how the DSL for Table navigation [16] can be reinterpreted in the context of an action theory [8]. We also show how this generalization provides the ability to carry out more complex tasks such as (i) allowing the user to describe the objective of his/her navigation as a goal and let automatic mechanisms (i.e., a planner) develop (part of) the navigation process; and (ii) allowing the semantic description to predefine not only complete navigation strategies (as in [16]) but also partial skeletons, making the remaining part of the navigation dependent on run-time factors, e.g., user's goals, specific aspects of the table's content, User's run-time decisions.
