Agile elicitation of semantic goals by wiki

摘要: Formal goal and service descriptions are the shibboleth of semantic web services approach, yet people responsible for creating them neither machines nor logicians, rarely even knowledge engineers: who need specify functionality not those provide it, both may be distinct from annotators. The gap between users' informal conceptualisations problems formal is one which must effectively bridged to widely adopted. We show how a simple technique-- using wiki collect user requirements mediate progressive, iterative refinement formalisation goals by domain experts their engineer colleagues--can achieve this. Further, we suggest process could extended, so as itself benefit technologies.
