Abstract
Software development is a product of evolution. It builds on the experiences of the individual and the community, continually refining every aspect of process. Web centric architectures are no different. Their ever-increasing levels of functionality and complexity are evident in the latest generations of web applications. In this paper we discuss some standards that enable teams to build, communicate and apply their experiences in the art of web application software development. These standards appropriate various levels of abstraction, and bring the focus of web application development back to the team. Combining UML representation of web-based systems with techniques for packaging these solutions for reuse can positively impact development timelines and efficiencies.
