Michael, Thanks very much for the nice paper and suggestions of related keywords in this topic. To make the concept of the Semantic Web "grow" and spread in the community of software engineers and programmers, I believe this task force can be very helpful. Greetings, Jeff -- Jeff Z.

While these standards provide a technical infrastructure, software developers have little guidance on how to build real-world Semantic Web applications. Based on a realistic application scenario, we present some initial thoughts on a software architecture and a development methodology forWeb services and agents for the SemanticWeb. This architecture is driven by formal domain models (ontologies). The methodology applies best practices from agile development methodologies, including systematic tests, short feedback loops, and close involvement of domain experts. We illustrate how these techniques can be put into practice using the modern Semantic Web development tool Prot´eg´e, and indicate future possibilities. == There is a whole community called "Automated Software Engineering" which is relevant. ALso, the OMG Model-Driven Architecture is quite relevant. The latter is discussed in the above paper. Good search terms include "ontology-driven" and one or more of: "information systems" "software engineering" "software development" etc. Mike -----Original Message----- From: Phil Tetlow [mailto:philip.tetlow@uk.ibm.com] Sent: Monday, November 08, 2004 11:18 PM To: public-swbp-wg@w3.org; Jeff Pan Subject: Fw: Semantic Web and Software Engineering Task Force Phil Tetlow Senior Consultant IBM Business Consulting Services Mobile.
