DemandIn economics, demand is the quantity of a good that consumers are willing and able to purchase at various prices during a given time. The relationship between price and quantity demand is also called the demand curve. Demand for a specific item is a function of an item's perceived necessity, price, perceived quality, convenience, available alternatives, purchasers' disposable income and tastes, and many other options. Innumerable factors and circumstances affect a consumer's willingness or to buy a good.
XML schemaAn XML schema is a description of a type of XML document, typically expressed in terms of constraints on the structure and content of documents of that type, above and beyond the basic syntactical constraints imposed by XML itself. These constraints are generally expressed using some combination of grammatical rules governing the order of elements, Boolean predicates that the content must satisfy, data types governing the content of elements and attributes, and more specialized rules such as uniqueness and referential integrity constraints.
Law of demandIn microeconomics, the law of demand is a fundamental principle which states that there is an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded. In other words, "conditional on all else being equal, as the price of a good increases (↑), quantity demanded will decrease (↓); conversely, as the price of a good decreases (↓), quantity demanded will increase (↑)". Alfred Marshall worded this as: "When we say that a person's demand for anything increases, we mean that he will buy more of it than he would before at the same price, and that he will buy as much of it as before at a higher price".
Demand curveIn a demand schedule, a demand curve is a graph depicting the relationship between the price of a certain commodity (the y-axis) and the quantity of that commodity that is demanded at that price (the x-axis). Demand curves can be used either for the price-quantity relationship for an individual consumer (an individual demand curve), or for all consumers in a particular market (a market demand curve). It is generally assumed that demand curves slope down, as shown in the adjacent image.
Production participativeLa production participative, la production par les pairs ou l'externalisation ouverte est l'utilisation du travail, de la créativité, de l'intelligence et du savoir-faire d'un grand nombre de personnes pour réaliser certaines tâches traditionnellement effectuées par un employé ou un entrepreneur. Cela se fait par un appel à un public ciblé (quand un niveau minimal d'expertise est nécessaire) ou par un appel ouvert à un large public. Le travail est éventuellement, mais pas nécessairement, rémunéré.
Cross elasticity of demandIn economics, the cross (or cross-price) elasticity of demand measures the effect of changes in the price of one good on the quantity demanded of another good. This reflects the fact that the quantity demanded of good is dependent on not only its own price (price elasticity of demand) but also the price of other "related" good. The cross elasticity of demand is calculated as the ratio between the percentage change of the quantity demanded for a good and the percentage change in the price of another good, ceteris paribus:The sign of the cross elasticity indicates the relationship between two goods.
User experience designUser experience design (UX design, UXD, UED, or XD) is the process of defining the experience a user would go through when interacting with a company, its services, and its products. Design decisions in UX design are often driven by research, data analysis, and test results rather than aesthetic preferences and opinions. Unlike user interface design, which focuses solely on the design of a computer interface, UX design encompasses all aspects of a user's perceived experience with a product or website, such as its usability, usefulness, desirability, brand perception, and overall performance.
User interface designUser interface (UI) design or user interface engineering is the design of user interfaces for machines and software, such as computers, home appliances, mobile devices, and other electronic devices, with the focus on maximizing usability and the user experience. In computer or software design, user interface (UI) design primarily focuses on information architecture. It is the process of building interfaces that clearly communicates to the user what's important. UI design refers to graphical user interfaces and other forms of interface design.

L'interaction Homme-machine (ou interaction humain-machine), appelée IHM, s’intéresse à la conception et au développement de systèmes interactifs en prenant en compte ses impacts sociétaux et éthiques. Les humains interagissent avec les ordinateurs qui les entourent et cette interaction nécessite des interfaces qui facilitent la communication entre l'humain et la machine.
Maquettage papierEn interface homme-machine et en ergonomie informatique, le maquettage papier (ou prototypage) est une technique encore très utilisée dans la conception centrée sur l'utilisateur. Cette technique aide les parties prenantes d'un projet (concepteurs, développeurs, commerciaux, etc.) à concevoir un logiciel ou un site web qui répondent aux attentes et besoins des utilisateurs finaux. Il s'agit le plus souvent des premières idées brutes jetées sur le papier, faites d'esquisses et de dessins, représentant l'agencement et les zones de contenus (ou zoning).
