A Software Development Metaphor for Developing Semi-dynamic Web Sites through Declarative Specifications

Traditionally, the realization of Web sites involves either static content developed using web authoring tools or dynamic content delivered by a database driven frontend, where the structured content is organized in a relational schema and dynamically generated on the fly. The limitations of statically-authored web pages are easy to discern and for a number of applications, the use of a database introduces a level of additional complexity that makes the choice a part of the problem space rather than the solution space. Based on the distributed software development approach, we present a suitable for managing middle-sized semi-dynamic web sites
