Current web application modeling approaches lack certain key aspects. Firstly, these approaches do not incorporate value-based requirement engineering as an integral part. Secondly, these approaches typically provide modeling of information aspects at the system design level; however, there is a need to model information at the level of understanding business needs while carrying out analysis. Thirdly, today's 'information-rich' and 'functionally-complex' web applications necessitate merging both of these aspects; hence as one of the available options, the business information models may be merged to business process models. To cater for these aspects, earlier we have proposed VIP Business Modeling Framework providing a set of models at analysis level. In this paper, we briefly introduced the framework, and highlight its effectiveness for integrating it with various influential web application modeling approaches, and for verification, we demonstrate its mappings with UML-based Web Engineering - a leading web application modeling approach.
