Objective Web Science is a newly established field of science, which exclusively focuses on the study of the Web. Two main challenges are set: 1/ to study the Web on a macro scale, 2/ to engineer the Web to facilitate further development. This proposal is set within the field of Web Science, and addresses the second challenge: to engineer modern Web applications that, through their intrinsic design features, form a solid foundation for future developments in the Web. One key ingredient for the future Web is Semantic Web technology, which allows to unambiguously and uniformly describe online and real world entities and the relations between them, and to effectively link data from different sources. Other desired ingredients are increased responsiveness and a richer user interface, both offered by Rich Internet Applications (RIA’s). In this context, it is thus our objective to develop and validate a sound approach to design and build modern Web applications (RIA’s), in a sound and systematic way, which make their data explicitly available for linking, re-use and sharing, and allow to easily link and integrate existing semantic information. To realize this objective, this proposal aims to extend the existing successful MDA-based software production method OO-Method. It relies on the specification of a series of conceptual models at different levels of abstraction (functionality, interaction, presentation, etc), and a powerful supporting model compiler to generate, from the conceptual models, the corresponding application. OO-Method is primarily targeting regular software systems, yet has some extensions for Web (1.0) applications, called OOWS. This proposal aims to extend the conceptual models, primitives and supporting framework of the OO-Method and OOWS to support the development of state-of-the-art Rich Internet Applications that explicitly expose their data using Semantic Web technology, and are able seamlessly integrate existing semantic data sources.
