Abstract:
A crucial aspect in the development of Web systems is the
ability to ensure that the relationships between the system design and
the business models, processes and workflows are understood. By representing
these relationships and defining transformations between them
we support the joint evolution business and web systems and ensure their
compatibility and optimisation. In previous work we have developed and
evaluated a model (called WIED) which creates this bridge. The existing
model is generic, but the notations and transformations have been based
on mappings between specific models - namely the e3-value and WebML
models. In this paper we illustrate how the WIED model can also be
represented using a UML-compliant notation.
