Abstract

Researchers have argued that current Web modelling languages have various limitations including disconnection between business models and technical architectures and also disconnection between functional architecture and information architecture. Addressing the problem; Web Information Exchange Diagrams are developed in two flavours, WIED and WIED-UML. WIED-UML is developed to primarily address the problem of disconnection between functional architecture and information architecture. However, we argue that it, doesn't really address the issue, because WIED-UML is developed on a set of different UML-Unified Modelling Language notations which don't have semantic conformity with current UML metamodel. Creating transformation rules between models not conforming to common metamodel vocabulary, would not lead to an elegant solution. Hence in this paper, we propose a solution, using UML 2.0 Profile for WIED. We demonstrate it by an example and argue that it is a potential improvement of generic WIED model besides eliminating the requirement for non-standard WIED-UML.
