Abstract

Software developers are increasingly exploiting the Web as a document management system. However, the Web has some limitations, since it is not aware of the structure and semantics associated to pieces of information (e.g., the fact that a document is a requirement specification) and of the semantics of relationships between pieces of information (e.g., the fact that a requirement specification document may be associated to some design specification document). In the Labyrinth project we enhance the capabilities of the Web as a document management system by means of a semantic model (called schema, in analogy with database schemas), which is associated to Web documents. This model is itself a Web document and can be accessed and navigated through a simple Web browser.
