Abstract
The thesis aims at implementing a web based social networking application using an existing
model-driven knowledge-intensive web application framework. The application is mainly based
on ontology and semantic web application with recommendation features. The increasing needs
for information integration and exploitation expect an approach which solves impuissance that
the traditional web applications are suffering. The architecture of the framework is based on
model driven approach which also use reasoning technique to deduct some new information and
relation which allows us to explore recommendation. In the framework we have extended some
components and patterns which is also important to verify the consistency and incompleteness of
the design of the application. We also have implemented a real world application. Lastly we have
made a comparative analysis on the different techniques.
