This dissertation proposes a development model for hypermedia applications on the Semantic Web extending the Semantic Hypermedia Design Method (SHDM), and presents an implementation architecture for this model. In the proposed extension applications are seen as navigational views over conceptual models defined by any Semantic Web ontology. Navigational classes are characterized by a retrieval pattern of conceptual ontology data from a specific resource, and can also incorporate rules for instances filtering. Access structures are now distinguished by their data source, and are categorized as arbitrary, query based, context based or faceted. Links specialize conceptual relationships based on the data types of its origin and destination, and can also map relationship compositions. A vocabulary defined as an ontology is used for the specification of the navigational model, making it independent from the query and inference environment used by any implementation of the model. The implementation architecture specified and implemented generates applications directly from the data contained in the proposed models.
