“…The task of designing software is often out of reach of domain experts. An Ontology Driven Compositional System (ODCS) uses existing computational knowledge in the form of compositional units to aid a domain expert in the construction of a software systems solution (Gillespie et al, 2011). The system uses ontologies to share pertinent information between components to allow for seamless integration (Hlomani and Stacey, 2009).…”

“…An ODCS defines a workflow by combining Compositional Units (CU), which are discreet units of composition. A CU may be an algorithm, package or service that takes in a given input and produces a set of calculated outputs (Gillespie et al, 2011). The workflow describes the flow of data between each compositional unit as well as maintains the order of execution.…”

“…Leveraging Knowledge describes how the transfer of knowledge between two people is bi-directional and that "knowledge grows when used and depreciates when unused" (Firm et al, 2000). An example of how this concept can be used within a web application is outlined in (Gillespie et al, 2011). Here the author describes the interaction between two user types of a system.…”

“…Here the author describes the interaction between two user types of a system. One such user can have the knowledge required to execute semantic requirements of compositional units, while another user type contains knowledge required to interconnect multiple compositional units (Gillespie et al, 2011). This exchange of knowledge is required in order to compose a system.…”

“…More specifically, we will describe the design process for creating the interface to our prototype ontology driven compositional system. This ODCS has been previously described in (Hlomani and Stacey, 2009) and (Gillespie et al, 2011). Systems can be viewed from many perspectives and one of the most important viewpoints is that of the user.…”

Compositional systems offer a unique opportunity to users who have domain expertise but lack the necessary skills to develop software solutions in their own domain. A subset of these systems are ontology driven compositional systems (ODCS). ODCS use ontological knowledge to help facilitate composition between individual compositional units. Since an ODCS is a technologically complex system where a majority of the emphasis is placed on the inner workings of the system, often the user interface is an afterthought. This paper focuses on the human issues related to developing a workflow management application by investigating the design principles behind an ODCS interface prototype.

One of the main goals of the Software Engineering discipline is to find higher abstraction levels and ways to reuse software in order to increase its productivity and quality. Ontologies, which are typically considered as a technique or an artifact used in one or more software lifecycle phases, may be used to help achieve that goal. This paper provides a systematic literature review of the proposed solutions for applying ontologies in automatic and generative programming. The paper aims to identify ontologies and software development tools, frameworks, prototypes, design patterns and methodologies that use them as development artifacts for source code generation or product derivation. The review provides researchers with the state of the art, while also identifying challenges and gaps that require further exploration and development.

Workflow management and the the whole field of business process management has seen a lot of research interest. This interest has evolved from the initial quest to automate manufacturing processes to the formalization of process models. The reason for this interest can arguably be attributed to the fact that process models form the core of workflow management systems. A plethora of modelling languages and notations have been created through the years, albeit with dominance of proprietary languages that has been argued to be lacking in terms of having formal semantics. The informal languages have seen more adoption at the expense of those that are termed "academic languages" even though academic languages are believed to be more formal. This paper considers the aspects of model transformation with the intension to bridge the gap between modelling and analysis. The paper proposes a semantic approach (using ontologies) to both the mapping and transformation of business process models written in one language (source) to another (target).
