Abstract

International Standards have often been developed independently of one another resulting in the multiple use of similar terminology but with different semantics as well as the more obvious dependencies between pairs of standards employing the same term with the same semantics. By the application of conceptual modelling techniques based on an ontological viewpoint, we show how the ‘stovepipes’ of software engineering standards, developed under the remit of the SC7 committee of ISO, can be reconciled into a single coherent suite of standards.
