A meta-framework for web applications

beContent is a new way of designing data-intensive web applications. It is not a Content Management System, it is not an emulation of PHP Nuke, it is not similar to Joomla. beContent is a Model Driven framework which allows you to design your own data and to generate the application around it.

beContent is based on sound and formal foundations which are the result of the work which has been carried out by the he MDD/Software Engineering and Architecture group at the University of L'Aquila, Italy.
