In this chapter, we introduce the notion of Ontology Pattern Language (OPL) as a way to organize domain-related ontology patterns.

ISO/IEC JTC1/SC7, the ISO sub-committee responsible for software and systems engineering, is one of the most important groups devoted to this task. However, standards developed by this committee are frequently inconsistent and even contradictory. This led to the need for an ISO Study Group to investigate the creation of an ontological infrastructure to establish a common conceptualization for underpinning all SC7 standards. This ISO initiative is a work in progress, which has focused on the software process domain and, in particular, considering the ISO/IEC 24744 standard. In this paper, we advocate in favor of using an Ontology Pattern Language (OPL) as the main component of this ontological infrastructure. We present ISP-OPL (ISO-based Software Process OPL), an OPL that can be applied as a basis for harmonizing software process-related standards, favoring reuse when building aligned specific software process ontologies for SE sub-domains. In order to illustrate its application, we also present an ontology about the Requirements Engineering process, developed by using ISP-OPL.

O Leds concretiza o conceito de ambiente de aprendizado orientado a projetos de sistemas, implantado no Instituto Federal do Espírito Santo (Ifes), Campus Serra. Abrange projetos de desenvolvimento de software que têm por objetivo propiciar ao aluno a capacitação nas principais tecnologias de mercado e simular a vivência de uma empresa. As análises realizadas apontam que apesar de certas limitações, o Leds tem contribuído de forma significativa no aprendizado dos alunos.

Over the years, there have been a number of efforts aiming at building them. However, due to the complexity of the enterprise domain, enterprise ontologies tend to be complex and difficult to reuse. In this paper, we advocate in favor of organizing Core Enterprise Ontologies as Ontology Pattern Languages, since ontology patterns are more and more recognized as an approach that favors ontology reuse. Moreover, we present an initial version of the Enterprise Ontology Pattern Language (E-OPL), and show how it was used for building an enterprise ontology for a specific domain.

This happens mainly due to their low maturity level, and because Risk Management is a complex and knowledge intensive task that requires experienced project managers, which many times are not available. In order to overcome this barrier, novice software engineers must learn how to perform this task, and organizational knowledge concerning it can be very useful. In this paper, we present a knowledge management approach to support organizational learning in Risk Management.

There are a num- ber of methods and tools that traditionally have been used to support this task. These include foundational theories, reuse of domain and core ontologies, de- velopment methods, and software tool support. In this context, an approach that has gained increased attention in recent years is the systematic application of ontology patterns. This paper discusses how Foundational and Domain-related Ontology Patterns can be derived, and how they can be applied in combination for building more consistent ontologies in a reuse-centered process.
