Abstract

A problem of evolvability is widely discussed in the current world, and still, it has not been fully addressed yet. Our approach tries to improve evolvability in a domain of documents. Our approach is based on principles and recommendations from the Normalized Systems Theory. We try to redefine the process of how the document is created and maintained by involving ontologies. We offer a solution which should increase evolvability for a sort of documents which is created by a template and which is often updated. We demonstrate our solution to an example of a Data Management Plan document.
