Abstract
In this paper, we introduce an ontology called Project Assets Ontology (PAO) that describe concepts of CMMI Maturity and Capability levels, Generic and Specific Goals, Generic and Specific Practices including concepts of Typical Work Products (an organization’s project assets) of 22 Process Areas that may be produced in a software development project based on CMMI v.1.2 model. This ontology can be used to enable a CMMI Maturity/Capability assessment tool for automatic generation of metadata description that describe an organization’s project work products. With the support of PAO and the generated metadata descriptions, the tool can automatically perform a preliminary CMMI gap analysis, which can lead to time and cost reductions in assessing the CMMI Maturity/Capability level of the organization.
