“…Examples of the most frequent CVs are ontologies, taxonomies, thesauri, and folksonomies. Natural language processing and knowledge management techniques [31,32] often use CV support tools. To allow for a more precise fine-tuning of our research, we also considered the work by Ahmad et al [27].…”

Sustainable development was defined by the UN in 1987 as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, and this is a core concept in this paper. This work acknowledges the three dimensions of sustainability, i.e., economic, social, and environmental, but its focus is on this last one. A digital twin (DT) is frequently described as a physical entity with a virtual counterpart, and the data, connections between the two, implying the existence of connectors and blocks for efficient and effective data communication. This paper provides a meta systematic literature review (SLR) (i.e., an SLR of SLRs) regarding the sustainability requirements of DT-based systems. Numerous papers on the subject of DT were also selected because they cited the analyzed SLRs and were considered relevant to the purposes of this research. From the selection and analysis of 29 papers, several limitations and challenges were identified: the perceived benefits of DTs are not clearly understood; DTs across the product life cycle or the DT life cycle are not sufficiently studied; it is not clear how DTs can contribute to reducing costs or supporting decision-making; technical implementation of DTs must be improved and better integrated in the context of the IoT; the level of fidelity of DTs is not entirely evaluated in terms of their parameters, accuracy, and level of abstraction; and the ownership of data stored within DTs should be better understood. Furthermore, from our research, it was not possible to find a paper discussing DTs only in regard to environmental sustainability.

“…Relevant articles may be identified to evaluate the factors of DT use even if they are not SLRs (see column "non-SLR"). Finally, it was able to choose 29 articles, ("Selected Papers" column, including papers), to view abstracts from the papers [36,37]. is is hardly unexpected since the technology and problems examined are relatively recent as shown in Figure 2.…”

The United Nations defined tenable progress as a development that responds to the demands of the current without adjusting the capacity of further generations to fulfil their own requirements; this is a fundamental idea in this article. This study recognizes three aspects, financial, social, and environmental sustainability, although its emphasis is on the latter. An electronic copy is sometimes characterized a physical thing, a real counterpart, and the data, which indicates the presence of a connector and block for effective and efficient data transmission. This article offers a systematic literature review on the sustainability of designed technology-based systems. This article also introduces the major requirements which can be helpful in designing optimal design for sustainability of a digital double-form system. Many articles on DT have also been chosen since they referenced the studied SLRs and were deemed to be significant for the objectives of this study. Selected and analysed for papers revealed so many flaws and challenges: the boons of are not clear; DTs throughout the result the wheel of life of the DTs is not adequately surveyed; DTs can contribute to cost reduction or to support decision-making is unclear; Internet practice should be improved and better integrated Moreover, it has not been feasible from our study to locate a publication which solely discusses DTs in relation with situational sustainability.

“…A controlled vocabulary is an organized collection of units of significance, i.e., terms that have a determined and well-known meaning, without duplicates (synonyms) that can cause ambiguities or misunderstandings. Their purpose is to organize information (data pieces) in a structured manner, provide consistency, indicate semantic relations, making it easy to classify, query, and retrieve data [2][3][4]. The most frequent examples of CVs can be categorized as ontologies, taxonomies, thesauri and, lately, folksonomies.…”

The Impact of Controlled Vocabularies on Requirements Engineering Activities: A Systematic Mapping Study

et al. 2020

Context: The use of controlled vocabularies (CVs) aims to increase the quality of the specifications of the software requirements, by producing well-written documentation to reduce both ambiguities and complexity. Many studies suggest that defects introduced at the requirements engineering (RE) phase have a negative impact, significantly higher than defects in the later stages of the software development lifecycle. However, the knowledge we have about the impact of using CVs, in specific RE activities, is very scarce. Objective: To identify and classify the type of CVs, and the impact they have on the requirements engineering phase of software development. Method: A systematic mapping study, collecting empirical evidence that is published up to July 2019. Results: This work identified 2348 papers published pertinent to CVs and RE, but only 90 primary published papers were chosen as relevant. The process of data extraction revealed that 79 studies reported the use of ontologies, whereas the remaining 11 were focused on taxonomies. The activities of RE with greater empirical support were those of specification (29 studies) and elicitation (28 studies). Seventeen different impacts of the CVs on the RE activities were classified and ranked, being the two most cited: guidance and understanding (38%), and automation and tool support (22%). Conclusions: The evolution of the last 10 years in the number of published papers shows that interest in the use of CVs remains high. The research community has a broad representation, distributed across the five continents. Most of the research focuses on the application of ontologies and taxonomies, whereas the use of thesauri and folksonomies is less reported. The evidence demonstrates the usefulness of the CVs in all RE activities, especially during elicitation and specification, helping developers understand, facilitating the automation process and identifying defects, conflicts and ambiguities in the requirements. Collaboration in research between academic and industrial contexts is low and should be promoted.
