Interactions are the building blocks of an answerSpace. An Interaction is a self-contained micro-app which models a single user interaction with any data source.
Interactions are programmed in MADL or Xpath and use HTML and/or XSLT to display. Interactions can be moved and copied between answerSpaces, turned on/off and the navigation changed very easily and without affecting other operations. Interactions can be tagged in a variety of manners (for navigation, security and context) which can make them act differently depending upon who is using them, where they are, what time it is etc.
The Blink Mobility Platform currently uses 5 different Interaction types:
Message ( HTML) Interactions
A Message Interaction is a static Interaction that only displays text that doesn’t change often.
This type of message is typically used for 'About Us' or 'Contact Us" or even static Help information.
Any text that is updated rarely can be used in a Message Interaction.
mADL (PHP) Interactions
Hyperlink Interactions
XLST Interactions
