BARRIENTOS NUNEZ, Ivette e CARBALLO MUNOZ, Lenna. The use of ontologies to support Requirements Engineering. Rev cuba cienc informat [online]. 2021, vol.15, n.1, pp. 20-36. Epub 01-Mar-2021. ISSN 2227-1899.
The discipline of Requirements Engineering (RE) is responsible for the elicitation, analysis, specification, validation and management of the requirements. Different approaches to improve these activities have been proposed by several authors. The latest studies point to those based on ontologies to achieve this purpose. Therefore, the objective of this paper is identify the main publication spaces, prominent authors, more active geographic regions and more discussed approaches, as well as the main activities addressed, the languages which have been used and the benefits of using the ontology in RE. A literature review on the use of ontologies in RE was carried out, following a predefined review methodology. Sixty documents were selected, covering the five main activities of the RE process. The geographical regions where the focus of the research and the main authors that stand out in this research area were identified. The main results of this review are: (1) there is empirical evidence to affirm that ontologies benefit RE activities, which improves the correction, integrity, consistency, inequality, traceability of the requirements; (2) The vast majority of documents do not cover all phases of RE, focusing the attention of researchers on the Requirements Specification and (3) almost half of the documents use the languages recommended by W3C.
