Abstract

The Semantic Web offers new opportunities tointegrate desktop applications seamlessly with one another, butmost software applications currently still rely on proprietaryRDBMS systems for data storage, and application logic istypically expressed only through general-purposeprogramming languages without being formally defined.In this article we propose an alternative approach todesigning simple applications, using an OWL-DL ontology todefine ECA rules for a domain and then use a novel softwareframework to transform these into a functional Java API thatcan execute these rules according to the ontology specification.We use the simple case of a turn based word-game toillustrate the framework in action. The project methodologyand framework design are discussed and suggestions forfurther work are proposed.
