In the last few years, we have seen significant changes in the way people think about and utilize the web. These changes will lead to a different kind of architecture for web applications like content management systems or e-commerce platforms. It is a shift from a traditional monolithic "web application" towards the "web as application" driven by semantic technologies. In this 20 minutes talk, I will outline the architecture of an exemplary system and demo some of its features.
