A Citizen Relationship Management (OpenCiRM) system was built on a semantic web platform using model-driven development principles, to provide a government call center with operational agility and improved technical integration options. Business domain experts from municipal agencies administered the system by directly manipulating its ontology model. This paper highlights the new ontology engineering tasks and user roles that may emerge in organizations implementing the OpenCiRM system.

AbstractModel-driven development platforms shift the focus of software development activity from coding to modeling for enterprises. A significant number of such platforms are available in the market. Selecting the best fitting platform is challenging, as domain experts are not typically model-driven deployment platform experts and have limited time for acquiring the needed knowledge. We model the problem as a multi-criteria decision-making problem and capture knowledge systematically about the features and qualities of 30 alternative platforms. Through four industry case studies, we confirm that the model supports decision-makers with the selection problem by reducing the time and cost of the decision-making process and by providing a richer list of options than the enterprises considered initially. We show that having decision knowledge readily available supports decision-makers in making more rational, efficient, and effective decisions. The study’s theoretical contribution is the observation that the decision framework provides a reliable approach for creating decision models in software production.

Resumen Los Servicios Web Semánticos ofrecen beneficios, que coadyuvan a la evolución de la Web, como el descubrimiento, invocación y composición dinámica y automática de recursos, habilitan efectivamente la interoperabilidad entre sistemas, permitiendo una amplia gama de nuevos servicios y oportunidades de negocios en la Internet. La estructura necesaria para proveer estos beneficios, hace que su desarrollo sea un proceso complejo, requiriendo establecer formas más fáciles y dinámicas que garanticen reutilización, calidad y rapidez. El desarrollo dirigido por modelos realiza una contribución eficiente en estos aspectos, dado que trabaja de manera intrínseca conceptos como separación de conceptos, reusabilidad e interoperabilidad entre componentes. En este artículo se presenta un enfoque para desarrollo de software dirigido por modelos, orientado al desarrollo de los servicios web semánticos, donde inicialmente se plantean las fases correspondientes al análisis, diseño y desarrollo dentro de la metodología propuesta, aplicando la metodología sobre un pequeño caso de estudio y obtener como resultado la estructura de un Servicio web semántico. Palabras Clave: Servicios web semánticos, Desarrollo dirigido por modelos, ontologías web.   Abstract Semantic Web Services offers benefits that contribute to Web evolution. Benefits such as automatic discovery and invocation, and dynamic composition, effectively enables systems interoperability, allowing a wide range of services and Internet businesses. The necessary structure to provide those benefits by Semantic Web Services makes its development a complex process. It necessary to establish more easy and dynamic ways to develop this kind of software, in order to assure reuse, quality and speediness in the development process. The model-driven software development makes an efficient contribution in those aspect, because it works intrinsically concepts related such separation of concerns, reusability and components interoperability. In this paper we present an approach to model-driven development software applied to Semantic Web Services. First, we establish the phases corresponding to the analysis, design and development in the proposal methodology, by applying it to a case of study we obtain the structure of a Semantic Web Services. Keywords: Semantic Web Services, Model-Driven Development, Web Ontologies.

Web Developers

Ontology is an important aspect of the semantic web, which is why semantic web developers are interested in constructing ontology in various applications based on domain experts. By transforming an existing application database into ontology, we many construct ontologies without having to hire an expert in the field. Model-driven engineering is the foundation of the suggested strategy (MDE). In a nutshell, the technique is divided into two phases, the first of which attempts to prepare the data needed for the transformation in the form of a model with a database. A compliance relationship between this model and its meta-model is required. Phase (2) applies a set of rules written in the Atlas Transformational Language to change the model produced in the first phase into another model, which is an OWL ontology (ATL). We tested our solution using a set of databases created specifically for this purpose and built it in an eclipse environment using an EMF and ATL transform language. The acquired findings demonstrate the strength and efficacy of the recommended strategy.

Multi Agent

Semantic Web evolution brought a new vision into agent research. The interpretation of this second generation web will be realized by autonomous computational entities, called agents, to handle the semantic content on behalf of their human users. Surely, Semantic Web environment has specific architectural entities and a different semantic which must be considered to model a Multi-agent System (MAS) within this environment. Hence, in this study, we introduce a MAS development process which supports the Semantic Web environment. Our approach is based on Model Driven Development (MDD) which aims to change the focus of software development from code to models. We first define an architecture for Semantic Web enabled MASs and then provide a MAS metamodel which consists of the first class meta-entities derived from this architecture. We also define a model transformation process for MDD of such MASs. We present a complete transformation process in which the source and the target metamodels, entity mappings between models and the implementation of the transformation for two different real MAS frameworks by using a well-known model transformation language are all included. In addition to the model-to-model transformation, the implementation of the model-to-code transformation is given as the last step of the system development process. The evaluation of the proposed development process by considering its use within the scope of a real commercial software project is also discussed.

Domain Specific Modeling

End-user programming may utilize Domain-Specific Modeling Languages (DSMLs) to develop applications in the form of models, using only abstractions found in a specific problem domain. Indeed, the productivity benefits reported from Model-Driven Development (MDD) are hard to ignore, and a number of MDD solutions are flourishing. However, not all stories from industry on MDD are successful. End-users, without having software development skills, are more likely to introduce software errors than professional programmers. In this study, we propose and encourage other DSML developers to extend the development of DSML with tool support. We believe the programming tools (e.g., debugger, testing tool, refactoring tool) are also needed for end-users to ensure the proper functioning of the products they develop. It is imperative that domain experts are provided with tools that work on the abstraction level that is familiar to them. In this paper, an industrial experience is presented for building various tools for usage in MDD. Debugger, automated testing infrastructure, refactoring, and other tools were implemented for Sequencer, a DSML. Our experience with the implementation of tool support for MDD confirms that these tools are indispensable for end-user programming in practice, and that implementing those tools might not be as costly as expected.
