Abstract:
The Semantic Web is a complex ecosystem that integrates a set of software devices necessary to model, disseminate and exploit the knowledge stored in an ontology. The development of its applications is not an easy task, it is costly and time-consuming. It consists of the different design and modeling phases and subphases, each with its own modeling language. Among its most delicate development phases, ontology modeling is mentioned, as well as, the integration of semantic annotations in web pages. In this paper, we present OntoIFML a new MDA-based approach used as an IFML-based tools plugin to facilitate the development of web applications relying on Semantic web paradigm. With this approach, we explore the possibilities for automating the generation of domain ontologies and interfaces annotated by semantic vocabularies from the front-end IFML model. The approach is illustrated by an EMR management application. The result obtained have shown the effectiveness of our approach.
