Universal Interface Language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A universal interface language is a language that allows for an interchange of information between objects. It does this by allowing an object to experiment on another object to determine what the object can do. Alan Kay introduced the concept in 1997 during his keynote speech at OOPSLA.
The goal of a universal interface language is to achieve automatic interoperability beyond that provided by an interface description language or a message exchange protocol such as [[Simple Object Access Protocol] (SOAP).
