W3C Open UI Community Group component anatomy research

Document status: reviewed. Canonical source.

Summary

Open UI researches common component anatomy, parts, states and behaviors across web frameworks and proposes targeted improvements to HTML/CSS/accessibility APIs. It intentionally does not define a universal visual document/editor standard.

NUIF relevance

Reuse terminology and accessibility/component research where compatible and coordinate rather than creating conflicting control vocabulary. NUIF’s scope is orthogonal: authored portable design documents and their implementations.
