“…Many LISs suffer from a lack of documentation or original developers of the system (van Geet, Ebraert, & Demeyer, ). This process of mapping discovery has been identified as a difficulty where documentation for the system does not exist (Nallusamy, Ibrahim, & Naz, ; Noy, ). Yet once this mapping is complete, it can be extended over the ontology using extended relations and axioms.…”

Regulatory reporting across multiple jurisdictions is a significant cost for financial services organizations, due to a lack of systems integration (often with legacy systems) and no agreed industry data standards. This article describes the design and development of a novel ontology‐based framework to illustrate how ontologies can interface with distributed data sources. The framework is then tested using a survey instrument and an integrated research model of user satisfaction and technology acceptance. A description is provided of extensions to an industry standard ontology, specifically the Financial Industry Business Ontology (FIBO), towards enabling greater data interchange. Our results reveal a significant reduction in manual processes, increase in data quality, and improved data aggregation by employing the framework. The research model reveals the range of factors that drive acceptance of the framework. Additional interview evidence reveals that the ontological framework also allows organizations to react to regulatory changes with much‐improved timeframes and provides opportunities to test for data quality.

“…In the previous study, we have formulated an approach called Ontology Based Software Redocumentation (OBSR) [15,16]. The OBSR approach generates software documentation from the Source Code Ontology (SCO) which allows the software maintainers to semantically search and browse for the transitive relations and concept hierarchy within the source code.…”

Redocumentation is an approach that is used to recover knowledge from raw software artifacts by using alternative presentations. Several legacy systems have been developed based on event-driven programming which require redocumentation. However, these existing repository and query techniques emphasize only on lexical and syntactical based queries which come with limitations in providing the semantic relationship for program understanding. We are using ontology based approach that uses both ontology reasoning and querying techniques to generate software documentation from the knowledge repository. We present a controlled experiment for the empirical evaluation on the proposed ontology based approach and implemented in a tool called Ontology Based Software Redocumentation (OBSR). In this experiment, two existing tools namely Universal Report (UR) and Microsoft Visual Studio specifically for Visual Basic (VB) programming environment have been selected to be compared with the OBSR tool. The goal is to provide experi-

Abstract. This paper describes methodology used for building a domain specific ontology. Methods that allow automatic concept and relation extraction using domain-related glossaries are presented in this research. The constructed ontology contains vocabulary related to computer science and software development. It is used for supporting different functionalities in the ALERT project, which aims to improve software development process in large open source communities. One of the uses of the ontology is to provide semantic search functionality, which is a considerable improvement over the keyword search that is commonly supported.
