Knowledge Management Support in Requirements Engineering
Abstract
This paper presents a Knowledge Management approach to support the Requirement Engineering (RE) process in ODE, an Ontology-based software Development Environment. Ontologies and analysis patterns are considered knowledge items, besides learned lessons, message packages and artifacts generated by ODE ́s tools. Thus, developers and requirements engineers can reuse those items during the RE process.
Keywords:
Requirements Engineering, Knowledge Management, ODE
