The Web Modelling Language (WebML) is a visual notation for specifying the content, composition, and navigation features of hypertext applications. The presentation will be an introduction to the conceptual modeling of Web applications with WebML, and it will describe advantages and requirements of the WebML development process. The overview will include:
- The WebML data model, based on the traditional E-R model for database design
- The WebML hypertext modeling core concepts: site views, areas, pages, links and content publishing units (the atomic publishing elements)
- The primitives for operation invocation, especially data management (creation, deletion, modification of tuples in a database)
Finally the current research topics of the WebML group will be introduced.
