The project DWeb aims to contribute to the development of the Semantic Web by offering an environment to set such of communities in the web. It is guided by the fundamental principles of the Semantic Web defined by W3C. The framework can be classified as a tool to build virtual communities environments that support Semantic Web resources. It can be used to construct collaborative systems based on communities and in knowledge management through collaborative environments.
