Agenda Introduction Rule-Based Baseline Ontology for Requirement Elicitation Process-deliverable diagram Remarks Questions ?

Introduction (1) Requirement elicitation is one main activity of Requirement engineering (Kaiya & Saeki, 2006) Omoronyia et al. (2010) investigated domain ontology approach to elicit the requirements in semi-automatic way PDD of Requirement Engineering process modeled by Kotoya & Sommerville (1998)

Introduction (2) Omoronyia et al. (2010) proposed domain ontology approach to map & knock-down the requirements statement. Dimension map of domain – ontology formulated by attendees of the Ontology Summit in 2007, Keet (2009)

Rule-Based Baseline Ontology for Requirement Elicitation (Omoronyia et al., 2010) 1.Prepare the text documents manually by removing symbols and/ or edit the text format; 2.Trailing any brackets; For example: ‘....mobile-phone makers (Nokia, Samsung, Apple, Blackberry and many others)’ 3.Complete bridged-term; For example: “.....inhale and exhale respiration methods” 4.Extract SPO (subject-predicate-object) into concept – relations; 5.Mine association; 6.Finalize the finding concepts and relations into clusters.

Remarks Unclear - total amount of research feasibility evaluation Till today the paper cited by 13 researchers since it was published in 2010 – not a popular research subject?! The authors no longer working together but they are still working in ontology and requirement engineering domains.
