Abstract
This paper discusses platform independent web application modeling in the context of model-driven engineering. A specific metamodel (and associated notation), companion of the UML metamodel, is introduced and motivated for the modeling of dynamic web specific concerns. Web applications are represented in three independent aspects (business, hypertext and presentation). A kind of action language (based on OCL and Java) is used throughout these aspects to write methods and actions, specify constraints and express conditions. The concepts described in the paper have been implemented in a tool and operational model-driven web information systems have been successfully deployed.
