Abstract:
One aspect of the development of Web-enabled systems
that has received increasing attention is information modeling,
particularly with respect to aspects such as navigation
and content models. These models have however typically
focused on modeling at a relatively low-level and
have failed to address higher-level aspects, such as architectural
and business process modeling. Wehave proposed
WebML+,a set offormal extensions to an existing modeling
language (WebML), which is able to form a bridge between
higher level business models and lower level detailed designs.
In this paper we provide guidelines for supporting
the derivation of a WebML+ model from/to these different
models, thereby providing a concrete link between them. We
illustrate these guidelines with a detailed example.
