An embodiment of the present invention includes a method and system for constructing a graphical user interface (GUI) having a plurality of graphical elements. The method includes reading a specification having non-executable information that defines a structure for the GUI. The structure forms communication connections between the graphical user elements and underlying data objects. The specification defining the structure of the GUI is parsed. The structure of the GUI defined by the specification as parsed is constructed, and the GUI having the graphical elements and the structure as constructed may be rendered. Another embodiment of the present invention includes a framework for developing the GUI. Yet another embodiment of the present invention includes a method for providing communication between at least two applications of a GUI by defining a first and second data object in a first and second application, respectively, as being promoted, and connecting the first and second data objects by a third data object residing externally from the first and second applications.
