Building Ontology Based Tools for a Software Development Environment

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 3096))

Abstract

Knowledge has been thought to be the most important asset in an Organization, having a significant impact on its competitiveness. Software development is knowledge-intensive but software development environments lack from specific support of knowledge management. In this paper, we present an enterprise ontology that supports the development of two case tools: an ’yellow pages’ tool that aims to represent the distribution of knowledge, skills and experiences trough the organizational structure and a tool to support human resource allocation planning in software projects based on the reuse of organizational knowledge about human resource skills and allocation. The work is concerned with Knowledge Management and Enterprise-Oriented Software Development Environments concepts.
