Applying OWL Ontology to Zachman Framework for Requirement Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
When the requirements of stakeholders are identified for the system development, the requirements collected should be formalized for their analysis and use. Zachman Framework is an enterprise architecture framework that provides a formal and highly structured way of viewing and defining an enterprise; it can provide a systematic way to formalize the requirements. This paper proposes an OWL ontology-based Zachman Framework for the requirement analysis. The proposed approach presents overall procedure and details ontology modeling in Protégé OWL.

Requirement Analysis for Enterprise Information Systems - Developing an Ontological Meta-Model for Zackman Framework
An enterprise information system distinguishes itself from other types of software as it is developed to facilitate the operation of an organization hence its requirement reflects its strategies, plans, organizations, processes, marketing etc. We believe that the requirements in the form of domain knowledge acquired in the early stage of system development can be organized and modeled in an Ent...

متن کاملAn Executive Approach Based On the Production of Fuzzy Ontology Using the Semantic Web Rule Language Method (SWRL)
Today, the need to deal with ambiguous information in semantic web languages is increasing. Ontology is an important part of the W3C standards for the semantic web, used to define a conceptual standard vocabulary for the exchange of data between systems, the provision of reusable databases, and the facilitation of collaboration across multiple systems. However, classical ontology is not enough ...

This chapter is focused on the basic principles behind the utilization of rules in order to perform reasoning about the Web Ontology Language (OWL), a Description Logic-based language that is the W3C recommendation for creating and sharing ontologies in the Semantic Web. More precisely, we elaborate on the entailment-based OWL reasoning (EBOR) paradigm, which is based on the utilization of RDF/...
