Migrating data-intensive web sites into the Semantic Web

ABSTRACT

The Semantic Web is intended to enable machine processability of web content and seems to be a solution for many drawbacks of the current Web. It is based on metadata that describe the formal semantics of Web contents. We present a novel, integrated and automated approach for migrating data-intensive Web applications into the Semantic Web. This approach can be applied to a broad range of today's business Web sites.
