Towards Ontology-Based Methodology for Requirements Formalization

چکیده
Implementation of enterprise information management systems is still a challenging task for any organization. One of the key challenges within implementation projects is analysis of business requirements and determination of required system capabilities. Traditionally this challenge is overcome by gathering a team of experienced specialists but we would like to propose an alternate solution: using the ontology based knowledge management system to determine the necessary functionality and configuration of the enterprise information management system based on the user requirements. In this paper we describe the approach for representation of user requirements for such systems as business processes based on the ideas from The Ontology for Linking Processes and IT infrastructure (OLPIT).

A Formalization of Ashok Goel's SBF Concept of Function
We formalize within the dolce foundational ontology the Structure-Behavior-Function model (sbf) proposed by Ashok K. Goel and colleagues. Our work focuses in particular on the notion of function. This work on sbf is part of a larger project that includes the formalization of the concepts of function by Chandrasekaran and Josephson and by Stone and Wood. The overall goal is to make engineering f...
متن کاملTowards a Methodology for Selection of Suitable Matching Approaches - A Case Study
The natural solution to fully explore the potentials hidden in existing matching approaches is a strategy based on the reuse of available matchers. However, building semantic applications based on the reuse of existing approaches is still a tedious process, this is due to fact that reusing available alignment methodologies within new application contexts is currently not being discussed deeply....
متن کاملCombining Ontology and Rules to Model Judicial Interpretation
This research aims to define an integrated methodology for modelling judgments, starting from legal texts and capturing not only structural parts but also arguments used by judges to reach conclusions. The goal is to build a complete ontology framework capable of detecting and modelling knowledge from the judgement’s text. The formalized judgements provide the necessary metadata for the rule la...
متن کاملTowards Facilitated Reuse of Ontology Results from European Research Projects: A Case Study
A significant amount of results have been produced recently in the area of ontology research. Increasingly semantic concepts are applied not only to enable system to system interaction and data exchange through unambiguous modelling of a certain domain, but also to enable univocal communication between human beings working on a certain domain. Reuse of ontology research results is however hinde...
متن کاملOntology testing based on requirements formalization in collaborative development environments
In the last years, ontologies are commonly developed in collaborative environments where there are several experts involved in the development process. When the ontology engineers deliver an ontology the users expect a complete ontology which fulfils all the requirements they ask for. However, in most cases the ontology engineers cannot prove this completeness, as they did not carry out any tes...
