The Welcome contentarea

In the sitemap view (SMV) we already defined some properties of the welcome contentarea.

We also added a link from the welcome contentarea toward the Information page.

In the Contentarea View (CAV) we have to honor the description given in the SMV and have to be consistent with the links defined within the SMV.

The CAV of the welcome content area starts with a contentarea symbol . The contentarea ID has to match with the name of the contentarea used within the SMV.

Next will add a text label that will hold information about the opening hours and another text label that will hold address information on where to find the shop.

With those two text labels we fulfill the description of the welcome contentarea as specified within the SMV, but it wouldn't be a very friendly site. So lets add some additional text labels to welcome the costumer and give him some idea what this site is about, supported by some images . We also will add a street map to make it easier for the customer to find the address.

You might notice that we nest some CAE in each other to express that those CAE belong together. But it doesn't say anything about the graphical design since that is handled by another UiaML plugin.

Finally we have to add the link toward the information page. We define that the link will find it's origin at the CAE: Welcome text. Since we already have define within the SMV that the link will point to the information page, it's enough that within the CAV the link points somewhere outside the contentarea symbol. The link identifier must however match with the link identifier used within the SMV.
