Abstract-The requirements specification step is considered as a crucial step involved during the requirements analysis in the life cycle of an information system. This step is considered as a contract between future users and designers. It concerns the expected characteristics: functional and non-functional requirements. However, many problems arise in this step such as the difficulty of gathering information, misunderstanding and incomplete requirements, lack of opportunities and constraints of the proposed systems, etc. In addition, requirements risk is unclear. This materializes in particular by conflict profiles, points of view and contexts among different users admitting different techniques to specify their requirements. For this reason, we propose a multirepresentation ontology (MRO) for requirements specification (RS) to solve the multi-context and the multi-representation problems. This paper proposes a MRO to enhance the effectiveness of RS. It presents the complementarities between context and ontology. It exposes an approach to establish the MRO providing the formalization and the visualization of this ontology. The proposed ontology is operationally defined in ContextOntoMR prototype.

“…An approach that is very similar to this idea is the work of Arara and others [12,1]. They propose the use of modal description logics for encoding multiple viewpoints in the same ontology by indexing parts of the definitions with the contexts they are supposed to hold in.…”

Despite of their advertisement as task independent representations, the reuse of ontologies in different contexts is difficult. An explanation for this is that when developing an ontology, a choice is made with respect to what aspects of the world are relevant. In this paper we deal with the problem of reusing ontologies in a context where only parts of the originally encoded aspects are relevant. We propose the notion of a viewpoint on an ontology in terms of a subset of the complete representation vocabulary that is relevant in a certain context. We present an approach of implementing different viewpoints in terms of an approximate subsumption operator that only cares about a subset of the vocabulary. We discuss the formal properties of subsumption with respect to a subset of the vocabulary and show how these properties can be used to efficiently compute different viewpoints on the basis of maximal sub-vocabularies that support subsumption between concept pairs.
