Ontology-guided software engineering in the MOST workbench

Abstract

This chapter reports about the software process guidance in ontology-driven software development (ODSD), one of the core ontology-enabled services of the ODSD environments. Ontology-driven software process guidance amounts to a significant step forward in software engineering in general (cf. Fig. 1.1 on p. 3). Its role is to guide developers through a complex software development process by providing information about the consistency of artefacts and about the tasks to be accomplished to reach a particular development goal.
