Abstract
Information systems governance (ISG) defines the objectives assigned to the information system (IS), plans, and implements processes related to the management of information system’s life cycle. These activities are based on monitoring and measuring the performance of these processes in relation to the objectives underlying the use of IS. Among the ISG methods, COBIT 5 (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology) is the most popular and can be applied to an implemented information system in commercial operation. It allows the definition of indicators for controlling and steering the IS. COBIT 5 defines governance best practices for IT professionals and managers. COBIT 5 provides a comprehensive set of metrics, indicators, processes and control objectives for a wide range of IT processes. The objective of this paper is to develop an ontology modeling the concepts of the COBIT 5 framework. The method used is the OWL-API transformation to move our UML meta-model into an OWL ontology meta-model under the “Eclipse” tool. The obtained results are validated and evaluated thanks to the inference engine integrated in the “PROTÉGÉ” tool.
