Web modeling

Web modeling (aka model-driven Web development) is a branch of Web engineering that 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.

Models

Designing a data-intensive website amounts to specifying its characteristics in terms of various orthogonal abstractions.Template:Neologism inline The main 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:

• RMM
• OOHDM
• ARANEUS
• STRUDEL
• TIRAMISU
• HDM — W2000
• the Interaction Flow Modeling Language (IFML), adopted by the Object Management Group (OMG) in March 2013
• WebML
• Hera
• UML Web Application Extension
• UML-based Web Engineering (UWE)
• ACE
• WebArchitect
• OO-H

One of the main discussion venues for this discipline is the Model-Driven Web Engineering Workshop (MDWE) held yearly in conjunction with the International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE) conference.
