Abstract

The World Wide Web represents a new space through which any kind of organization can offer services and data. The huge diffusion of this Internet service has led to develop a new kind of software systems, called Web applications.

With the new concept of the Semantic Web the development of web applications should evolve including, in their implementation, the use of knowledge representation technologies in order to obtain all benefits offered by the semantics annotation of documents and data. We are studying the use of UML as a language for modeling organization ontologies as a foundation for designing Web applications which support organizations.
