UI Patterns for the web?. UI Patterns. UI Patterns and Techniques: Introduction. A set of UI design patterns that shows promise. [ideas] Looks like a good wrap-up of web ui design patterns. I'll probably go back there and have another go at it when I'm not so busy. ;) (Like, when is that exactly? I have no idea.) [Brett Morgan's Insanity Weblog] Wow - really good set of UI patterns, but not very web based unfortunately. I would REALLY love to see (and contribute!) to something like this for web UIs. All the standard tricks like master-detail forms, sortable tables, tab interfaces, drill down navigation, form layout etc - but for HTML. [rebelutionary] 11:01:14 PM

Announced were the new specifications to address transacted communications of Web services (WS-Coordination, WS-Transaction) and a new language to describe business processes (Business Process Execution Language for Web Services, or BPEL4WS)."
