Title
Streamlining Semantics From Requirements To Implementation Through Agile Mind Mapping Methods
Abstract
[Context and motivation] Semantics are the essential asset that must be managed during requirements elicitation, and further made available to the implementation phase. Consequently, it makes sense to investigate how knowledge representation techniques can support both human-oriented and machine-readable requirements modelling to facilitate the transfer of semantics between the two phases. Semantic technology such as the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and methodologies such as Agile Modelling Method Engineering (AMME) may converge towards new methods of requirements elicitation. [Question/problem] How can requirements semantics be captured in a fashion that is diagrammatic, agile and streamlined to support the implementation phase? [Principal ideas/results] We introduce the notion of Agile Mind Mapping Method as an artefact that repurposes agile modelling methods for mind mapping practices and is enriched with an RDF-based semantic interoperability mechanism for transferring diagrammatic requirements descriptions to implemented software artefacts. [Contribution] Semantic technology, agile metamodeling and mind mapping best practices are combined in an elicitation method based on agile modelling artefacts that can streamline semantics from mind map-based requirements to semantics-aware implementations.
