10.2.3 On the use of Semantic Web Technology for Requirements Satisfaction, or How do I find a good Bike?
David Price, Rob Bodington · INCOSE International Symposium · 2006
Abstract This paper reports on an investigation into the use of Semantic Web technology in the Systems Engineering domain. In 2004 the World Wide Web Consortium standardized the Web Ontology Language (OWL). Software tools called Reasoners are available that support formal, logical analysis of concepts in a subset of OWL called OWL DL (for Description Logic). An approach to the use of this technology for the Systems Engineering task of identifying Systems that satisfy a set of Requirements is described.
