My Research Area - This aim of my research is to try to bring together the areas of End User Programming, Modelling and the Semantic Web. So I'm examining the area marked in yellow. These research areas are enabled by a visual interface with the end user.
My intention is to examine tools and technologies that can translate from a domain representations and/or and abstract representation of a problem into program code, and examine a systematic way to make this possible. Technologies to enable this, with links to explanations of them are shown below :-
Please let me know if you think a particular tool or technology is represented wrongly.
Domain Representation | Modelling/Programming | Abstract Representation | Structured Data File |
RDF, RDFS, DAML+OIL, OWL, RSS, SVG, VRML, UML, XMI, MathML, RuleML | |||
The intention of this research is to enable users to navigate between tools such as these without necessarily being aware of which tool or technology they are using. The way to achieve this is through an end-user programming environment that makes use of these technologies. A person should be able to model their domain using a visual modelling language, this modelling language should then translate the representation to an abstract representation, which can be translated to open standard formats, able to be held as structured data files that can be understood by computer software. The Modelling/Programming layer provides a translation service and can perform calculations, therefore converting a source tree to a result tree. The intention is for the user to be able to use the domain layer tool without having to interact directly with any of the layers below. The results are then fed back to the user, who can drill down through the result tree in order to find the reasoning behind the results.
