Abstract:The World Wide Web solutions are increasingly endorsed by several levels of government in order to deliver all kinds of the so-called e-government services. To face the complexity of joint design and development procedures, it is imperative to adopt a web modelling language such as the WebML. In this work, we propose a methodology that enhances the ability to detect, during the early development stages, similar design snippets that perform the same functionalities. Additionally, a methodology to infer frequent constructs at the design level, when applied to similar e-government services, can lead to safe conclusions as for when a specific construct constitutes a design pattern. Finally, we illustrate a validation scenario.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
