In this paper we present Web design frameworks as a conceptual approach to maximize reuse in Web applications. We first analyze the current state of the art of Web applications design, stating the need for an approach that clearly separates concerns (conceptual, navigational, interface). We briefly introduce the OOHDM approach for Web applications design. We next focus on the problem of design ...

The SWAN approach, presented in this paper, addresses the challenging task of developing Semantic Web Applications, i.e., Web applications that fully and effectively exploit and serve the Semantic Web as their operational environment.
