Semantic Web Services Challenge pp 51–70Cite as

A Software Engineering Approach based on WebML and BPMN to the Mediation Scenario of the SWS Challenge

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Semantic Web And Beyond ((ADSW,volume 8))

Although Semantic Web Services are expected to produce a revolution in the development of Web-based systems, very few enterprise-wide design experiences are available; one of the main reasons is the lack of sound Software Engineering methods and tools for the deployment of Semantic Web applications. In this chapter, we present an approach to software development for the Semantic Web based on classical Software Engineering methods (i.e., formal business process development, computer-aided and component-based software design, and automatic code generation) and on semantic methods and tools (i.e., ontology engineering, semantic service annotation and discovery).
