Using Integrated Ontologies for Determining Objects towards Software Engineering Approach

doi:10.4156/aiss.vol2. issue4.7 More and more ontologies are becoming available on the web, and are increasing in number and demand. Ontologies can be beneficial for the objects identification in software engineering approach. Semantic and ontologies search engines have used to assist search and recovery of online ontologies which it is the first to find the ontologies for particular domain of interest. Considering an object oriented software engineering classic problem, is the difficulty of finding the appropriate objects for the system. The main goal of this research is to integrate the different eXtensible Markup Language based (XML-based) formats available online by using created Java–based application program to merge and modify ontologies for building object model. The author also provides the alternative option to apply off-the-shelf software as tools for the same purpose. The Java–based application program will allow the developer to choose objects (extracted from ontologies classes) and their components which are attributes, operations, and relationships. The final result of the program will be used as the sketch object diagrams of the system
