Abstract

Web-based Management Information Systems (MIS) require the use of standardized methods and techniques for their design and development. The two most used resources are Model Driven Architectures (MDA) and Ontology Driven Architectures (ODA). The MDA perspective allows us to separate the specification issues from the system architecture as well as the details from its implementation. On the other hand, ODA provides the semantic representation of knowledge domain, also independently of its implementation. This paper presents the use of ODA in the SOLERES system, an information system for environmental management (EMIS).
