An apparatus and method for creating a data centric graphical user interface (GUI) having XML document, Style(s), unique functionality (if required or desired), and data pair(s). The XML document coded with the Style(s), unique functionality, and data pair(s) are compiled to generate GUIs where the data being displayed is of importance and not the overall layout of the data. Further presented is a system comprising various applications, data, and a data centric GUI. The data centric GUI is used to transfer the data between various applications and across various platforms while allowing for human intervention between applications and formatting of the data most beneficial to the user.
