A Configuration Management task ontology for semantic integration

Published: 26 March 2012 Publication History

Abstract

Configuration Management (CM) is an important task for developing complex products. It is a complex task and there are many CM systems that aim to support it. However, generally, these systems work in isolation and there is a need for integrating them. In this context, ontologies have an important role, acting as an inter-lingua to help achieving a shared conceptualization that allows semantic integration. This paper presents an ontology of the CM task. This ontology was built with the purpose of supporting semantic integration of CM systems, mainly in service and process layers of integration.
