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

[edit ]

Designing a data-intensive website amounts to specifying its characteristics in terms of various orthogonal abstractions.^{[neologism? ]} 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.^{[citation needed ]} 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

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)^[1] conference.
