The use of an enterprise ontology to support knowledge management in software development environments

“…Currently, EOSDE tools offer automated support to: (i) definition of the organizational structure [6,11], (ii) adaptation of the organization's standard processes for a specific project, (iii) organizational knowledge acquisition [11], (iv) project planning, monitoring and control including time, costs, risks and human resources [11], (v) planning and execution of configuration management activities, (vi) requirements management, (vii) planning and monitoring of corrective actions, (viii) measurement and analysis activities, and (xix) post-mortem analysis.…”

“…An Enterprise-Oriented Software Development Environment (EOSDE) [6,7] supports the activity of software engineering, making it possible to manage knowledge that can be useful to software engineers when carrying out an organization's software projects. As well as domain knowledge, other kinds of knowledge are of interest to increase productivity and quality in this context.…”

“…Tools to support the description and updating of tasks and Domain Theories [5], organizations' structure and processes [6] as well as the capture of knowledge items [11] are provided by the Knowledge Management Infrastructure of EOSDEs.…”

Una aplicación basada en ontologías del perfil básico del estándar ISO/IEC 29110 empleando Protégé

“…Ontology-based standards are aimed to support the tailoring of complex process models in the software industry [14]. Ontologies are useful in domain-oriented software development environments supporting software developers in their activities along the software development process [11].…”

“…Tasks of every activity can be completed by using the ISO/IEC 29110 in an open way. On the other hand, previous studies have been developed to demonstrate the value of ontologies as standard tools for representing knowledge and organizing software projects [11]. The development of ontology-based standards and models is aimed for analyzing, understanding processes, and guiding plans.…”
