Towards an Enterprise Software Component Ontology
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper describes an ontology of enterprise software components (ESCO). Its purpose is to reduce the conceptual gap between component specifications and their corresponding business descriptions, i.e., business processes and business entities. To this end, the different types of enterprise components and their semantic relationships are analyzed. The ontology axioms are formally expressed in description logics. ESCO contributes to a shared understanding of key concepts in application system development.

متن کاملOntology-enabled Documentation of Service-oriented Architectures with Ontobrowse Semantic Wiki
Documenting and maintaining an enterprise-wide service-oriented architecture (SOA) causes a substantial management effort, which should be addressed by intelligent, scalable solutions. A particular challenge is that business experts, developers, and software architects take different perspectives on a SOA, each favoring various description formats and sources, which leads towards a scattering o...
متن کاملTowards Enterprise-Scale Ontology Management
Increasingly, ontology languages are being used to externalize meta-data about data, software and services in a declarative form that can be used for purposes ranging from search and retrieval to composition and lifecyle management. The use of such externalized descriptions could significantly reduce the costs of deploying, integrating and maintaining enterprise scale systems. The barrier to mo...
