Abstract

From the discussion of integrative modeling and organization-oriented analysis, we have seen that conceptualization and declarative knowledge have been deeply involved in these processes. In practice, sharing, transferring, and transforming a conceptualization system from system analysis to design and implementation are critical issues in building a deployable system of software engineering. Precision, usability, continuability, deployability, and scalability are key objectives in developing the sharable conceptions and declarative knowledge in the whole life cycle of OADI. This is what ontological engineering [1] can do.
