Yuqing Yan, Pupei Liao, Zhenhua Zhang · 2018
Requirements change has a remarkable influence on the success of software development. Managing software requirements change needs get more clues from the view of knowledge management. The methodology of this research is driven by knowledge management, the method of ontology modeling is adopted. In this paper we firstly review literature related to ontology models that have been done in the field of software requirements engineering. By analyzing a famous software change management process, we have found sorts of the implicit knowledge existed in the process of requirements change management. For well digging this knowledge, we introduce some concepts and establish a series of incremental ontology models which are integrated into OntoRCMPonCau. It can provide a new idea and method on what knowledge should be collected and how to collect them based on causality analysis in the process of requirements change management.
