Mashups have recently become popular due to visual composition metaphors and loosely coupled widgets that encourage the fast implementation of situational web-based applications. However, the mashup development process is still challenging for end-users, since they are compelled to retrieve and combine adequate components for their requirements manually. Therefore, we propose a novel model-based requirements-driven mashup design and composition method. It benefits from the use of semantics-based domain vocabulary accompanying the whole mashup development process. In this paper, we present an ontology for specifying requirements for web mashups, which is suitable for deployment in multi-user and multi-device scenarios. To this end, we employ a distributed multi-user scenario and outline the proposal’s benefits in a model-driven web mashup composition process.
