Internet information services are developed everywhere. Such servicesinclude content generation and functionality support that have to bemodeled in a consistent way. Here, we show how concepts of conceptualmodeling can be used for systematic development of Internet sites.We give an introduction into our methodology of modeling Internetapplications resulting in the Cottbus Internet site development language(SiteLang). The language has an operational semantics based on entity-relationship structuring and abstract state machines. It allows specificationof entire Web sites, i.e., of structuring, behavior, information support, andof the interaction and story space. The methodology supports applicationsin different environments, e.g., Internet Web sites, WAP technology, or TVchannels. Copyright © 2003, Idea Group, Inc. Systematic Development of Internet Sites 8
