Abstract. Supporting Goal-Oriented Requirement Engineering (GORE) in a systematic and comprehensive way may require the combination of distinct goal-oriented approaches. However, due to lack of common semantics, to combine these approaches can be challenging. In this work, we propose a semantic alignment between two complementary goal-oriented approaches: the ArchiMate Motivation Extension and the Goal-Question-Metric. The approaches are semantically analyzed in light of the Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO), which provides real-world semantics for both languages, serving as a reference ontology to support the ontological analysis of concepts and relationships of both approaches and the alignment between them.
