Introduces a declarative ODI spec that encodes number of overviews/details, attribute placement, and representation types, plus a runtime that maps spec entries to UI components. Ships a UI developer package, a prototype design tool that exports the spec as JSON for developers, and a no-code web builder for end-user customization. Demonstrates gesture-to-spec bindings (including semantic zooming) and recursive overviews (click a synonym to open the same ODI for that item), arguing malleability by default and showing end-to-end tooling that actually renders and updates live interfaces.
