Web Design & Development Guide
Web modeling
Web modeling (aka model-driven Web development) is a branch of Web engineering which addresses the specific issues related to design and development of large-scale Web applications. In particular, it focuses on the design notations and visual languages that can be used for the realization of robust, well-structured, usable and maintainable Web applications. Designing a data-intensive Web site amounts to specifying its characteristics in terms of various orthogonal abstractions. The main orthogonal models that are involved in complex Web application design are: data structure, content composition, navigation paths, and presentation model.
Several languages and notations have been devised for Web application modeling. Among them, we can cite:
- HDM - W2000
- RMM
- OOHDM
- ARANEUS
- STRUDEL
- TIRAMISU
- WebML
- Hera
- UML Web Application Extension
- UML-based Web Engineering (UWE)
- ACE
- WebArchitect
- OO-H
