An authoring environment for model-driven web applications

This paper presents a development environment and framework that supports a Model Driven Development approach to Web Application Development. In this framework, the models are described through graphical diagrams that are processed by the environment. The main purpose is to ease the development of a web application using Visual Studio .Net 2005 as an IDE and Semantic Hypermedia Development Method (SHDM) as development method, allowing the application architect to focus on the application modeling. We also discuss how the meta-modeling facilities of VS .Net 2005 were extensively used.
