A Software Engineering Ontology as Software Engineering Knowledge Representation

This paper aims to present software engineering ontology as software engineering knowledge representation for a multi-site software development. It will not only facilitate the capturing of software engineering knowledge but also enhance the sharing of software engineering knowledge across geographically multiple software development sites. The software engineering ontology assists in defining information for the exchange of semantic project data and is used as a communication framework. Its end users are software engineers sharing software engineering domain knowledge as well as software engineering project data.
