A Semantic Approach for Domain-Specific Design Patterns Recommendations in CMS-based Web Development

Today's web designers are encountering multiple issues regarding website development within specific application domains. These issues can be successfully addressed using Domain-Specific Design Patterns, enhancing the final deliverable quality for the domain under consideration. Having in mind the benefits of using web design patterns, domain ontologies can also complement their identification within the context of a specific application domain. They define the underlying semantic context of a domain, by encapsulating the domain knowledge. To this end, an approach is proposed to support the automated recommendation of candidate web design patterns relying on the respective domain ontology. The website designs, occurring in a particular application domain, are automatically analyzed so that all recurrent patterns among them can be detected. These patterns are validated and matched against domain's ontology, and subsequently evaluated and categorized. Finally, the best-rated design solutions are recommended as candidate design patterns for addressing typical domain design problems. Ultimately, it becomes easier for domain designers to recognize best practices among them and thus identify domain-specific design patterns.
