Resumen o descripción
Ontologies are recognized as important component of
information systems supporting business processes within and
across organizations. At modeling time, they contribute
identifying key elements from business processes; at development
time, their structure can be translated automatically into
information system’s source code; finally, at run time, through
queries and reasoning, they provide proper data for decision
making. Additionally, ontologies provide the basis for sharing
and publishing organizational information through the Semantic
Web. However, representing organizational information directly
into an ontology requires specialized expertise in the ontology
engineering domain, thus, ontologies are not generated using a
domain language easily for the organizational domain experts. In
this work, we propose the use of specialized organizational
modeling techniques as starting point to model the organization,
thereby, ensuring the proper definition of the organizational
knowledge. Then, a mechanism is provided to automatically
transform the organizational knowledge in its corresponding
ontological representation. Our proposed approach is based on
Model Driven Engineering ideas and it involves: a) the
development of an ontology representing the metamodel of two
widely used organizational modeling techniques i* and Tropos
and b) the systematic transformation of i* based modeling
primitives into instances of the ontology.
