The aim of this paper is to evaluate the possibilities and problems with using hypermedia for the modeling phases of software development methods, i.e. using the World Wide Web and a browser for drawing and viewing models and for hyperlinking models and information that is related to the models.
A number of Web-techniques have been discussed and analyzed to see if they could support Web-based modeling, and in what way they could do this.
The modeling techniques of two software development methods have been used to compare the Web-techniques.
The conclusion is made that all the Web-techniques could, in some way, support Web-based modeling, depending on how it is implemented.
