Abstract:
This paper introduces the context, objectives and expectations of an ontology-driven framework designed to support engineers in the analysis of textual system requirements. The primary goals are twofold: (i) to keep the System Engineering-(SE) formal processes that satisfy industrial constraints, and (ii) to provide a semantic representation of textual requirements, enabling consistent semantic analysis through the logical properties of ontologies. Formalization and semantic analysis of system requirements provide early evidence of adequate specification, for reducing the validation tasks and high-cost corrective measures during later system development phases. Integrating ontologies into the SE process enhances system engineers’ ability to understand and manage requirements, leading to a smoother design and more accurate operation.
