Using Ontologies to Add Semantics to a Software Engineering Environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software Engineering Environments (SEEs) are systems designed to support software development and maintenance, and also for supporting project control and management. They provide means to integrate developers with the software process and the supporting technology. Since during software development many information resources are produced and used, it is very important to add semantics to them in order to improve the assistance given by the environment. In this context, ontologies are a key enabling technology for Semantic SEEs (SSEEs). A SSEE can be viewed as a SEE in which part of the information handled has associated a formal meaning (semantics), augmenting its tools’ ability to work in conjunction with each other and with human developers. This paper discusses how ontologies are used in ODE, an Ontology-based software Development Environment, to make it a SSEE.

متن کاملAdding Semantics to Social Software Engineering: (Re-)Using Ontologies in a Community-oriented Requirements Engineering Environment
Social Software is typically characterized by low formal semantics and weakly structured contents. Software Engineering, in contrast, requires at least a certain degree of formality and structure. In order to face these opposing demands, we propose to ground Social Software Engineering on concepts and technologies from the Semantic Web. In particular, we present a Semantic Wiki based approach i...
متن کاملReverse Engineering of Network Software Binary Codes for Identification of Syntax and Semantics of Protocol Messages
Reverse engineering of network applications especially from the security point of view is of high importance and interest. Many network applications use proprietary protocols which specifications are not publicly available. Reverse engineering of such applications could provide us with vital information to understand their embedded unknown protocols. This could facilitate many tasks including d...
متن کاملDeclarative Semantics in Object-Oriented Software Development - A Taxonomy and Survey
One of the modern paradigms to develop an application is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles in applications. In an application, we must distinguish between procedural semantics and declarative semantics for their implementation in a specific programming language. For the procedural semantics, we can write a ...
متن کاملA Suite of Semantic Web Tools Supporting Development of Multilingual Ontologies
The multilingual aspects which characterize the (Semantic) Web and the constant demand for more understandable and easy-to-share forms of knowledge representation, push for a more “linguistically aware” approach to ontology development and foresees an environment where formal semantics could coexist with natural language, contributing to improve “shareability” of the content they describe. As a...
