An Ontological Model for Generating Complete, Form-based, Business Web Applications

This paper presents an ontological model for specifying and automatically generating complete business Web applications. First, a modular and expandable ontological model for specifying form-based, business Web applications is developed and presented. Next, the technology used for transforming the ontological specification to Java executable code is explained. Finally, the results of applying the proposed model for specifying and generating an order management application are presented. Results showed that the application of an ontological model in a generative programming approach increases the level of abstraction. This approach is especially suitable for development of software families, where similar features are reused in multiple products/applications.
