Adaptation of software engineering to semantic web based system development

Recent web technology transitions have forced the software research community and industry alike, to ponder upon adaptation of various aspects of software engineering, in order to maintain their relevance in present scenario. It is imperative to adapt the software engineering paradigm to technologies such as semantic web for quality software. In this report, various attempts at developing software engineering process for semantic web services have been evaluated. Few works are hybrid in nature, dealing with semantic web and software engineering benefits to each other and the interplay of semantic web and software as a service on cloud. This report presents an analysis of such approaches and highlights some issues that need to be addressed. It is revealed that semantic web services are not just a promising future of the web, but a realization in current web too; therefore, by developing a software engineering process for them, we can develop and deploy quality software (as service) on the web.
