Usability Glossary: MDI


multiple document interface; an application that consists of one primary application window (the parent window) that contains all the other windows of the application (child windows). The other windows cannot be dragged outside of the main window. This can be viewed as yet another organizing strategy for windows, in addition to using overlapped or tiled windows.
