Additionally, our CMDSD methodology requires Rapid Prototyping (Reilly, 1996) as a
means to be easily able to verify specifications.
Using.CMDSD.to.Build.Semantic.Web.Servers
How does all this help with Semantic Web development? Many of the underlying technologies
for the Semantic Web are highly complicated and very involved. Rare is the architect
or developer who understands agent technologies, Web service specifications (in their evergrowing
numbers), and the details of building efficient application servers all at once. If
architects and developers trained in more than one of these topics are already rare, how can
we then assume that the end users for Semantic Web technologies (e.g., the people building
Websites today) will be able to grasp the varying concepts and details of implementation?
As explained in the sections above, one of the research directions currently being actively
investigated is the research in semantically-rich descriptions for Web services. Now imagine
a development system that can understand existing semantic descriptions of services,
load them, and generate definition and aggregation interfaces for such services. Suddenly
developers and customers can work together in a semantically-rich environment to model
the business side of systems and, by using a framework like the WASP framework, can
