Abstract

The adoption of high level models has been advocated by many authors as instrumental in Web site development as a strong support to both design and maintenance. We will discuss how the specification of Web sites at the logical level can greatly benefit from the introduction of specific features for the representation of time, which could also support the notions of versions and editions of objects in the site. Moreover, time can be seen as a "coordinate" of Web models, a more general notion that includes various forms of specializations and variations, such as those related to location, language, user preferences, device type.
