Semantic Web and End-User Programming

Semantic Web research is not an end in itself as without the combination with End-User Programming/Modelling in order that people can create programs; there is insufficient incentive for creation and use of Semantic Web information. The reverse of this combination is that end-user modelling/programming is not practical without creation and use of structured information available through an accessible interface, such as representations using the Semantic Web.

My research area is explained here http://www.cems.uwe.ac.uk/~phale/#LanguageToolMapping :-

My Research Area - Venn Diagram combining End-User Programming, Modelling, and Semantic Web. - The 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.

The representation of program structure also needs to be visualised to End-User Programmers so they can create and edit content.

In order to increase the use of Semantic Web technologies it is necessary to create applications that make use of the Semantic Web for practical applications. Enabling modelling with Semantic Web technologies could encourage domain experts to fill ontologies with useful information, so generating more benefit from their use.
