Abstract

The emerging Internet of Everything is a driving force for businesses to expose their processes as services to third parties to be integrated into their applications (e.g. the booking of a trip or requesting the quote for a complex product). To standardize the processes and related data, increasingly semantic web technologies are applied - leading to a shared conceptualization of the business domains and thus creating a linked data service ecosystem for domain-specific services. Although the communication on machine-level is standardized by using semantic web technologies, the integration of the user into the overall process is still a manual task: User Interfaces (UI) for collecting the input data for a process are built manually for multiple platforms and user groups. The claim of this paper is, that given a linked data service ecosystem, UIs can be modelled and automatically generated for integration into linked data applications. The paper presents an ontology-based, model-driven approach for modelling UI variants for automatically generating dialog-based applications, providing output understood by associated linked data services.
