This paper addresses the model-driven development of Web applications that integrate hypertextual navigation, content publishing and management, and interaction with remote Web Services. The proposed approach relies on an extension of the Web Modeling Language, a visual notation for the design of data-intensive Web applications, with primitives for capturing various forms of interaction with Web services, including one-way and request-response operations, asynchronous messaging, and long running conversations. The paper overviews some architectural issues raising from the integration of data-intensive Web applications and Web services.
