Representing and Reasoning on XForms Document

Forms are the most common way to interface users and Web-based applications. Traditional forms cannot provide the functionality needed to fulfil the requirements of complex applications. As such, there is a need for a more advanced format of forms to support Web-based application. We argued that XForms easily fit into this criterion of forms. In addition, we observed that there is a need for a tool to reason about the forms with respect to user needs and application requirements. We propose to use Description Logic ALCOQ I to reason about forms generated by XForms.
