TL;DR: The approach provides a generic view of key RE processes clustered into three groups of activities: requirement elicitation, analysis and negotiation and is supported by a set of knowledge functions aimed at facilitating the requirement engineers in matching customer requirements to product characteristics.

TL;DR: A reference ontology is put forward to support risk assessment for product-service systems applied to the domain of global production networks to help accelerate the development of information systems by way of developing a common foundation to improve interoperability and the seamless exchange of information between systems and organisations.

TL;DR: Preliminary results for the capture and modelling of end-user information, an initial higher level reference core ontology for the development of reference ontologies, and the formal logical modelling of Level 1 of the FLEXINET reference ontology using a Common Logic based approach are presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a lightweight ontology is proposed to capture and represent machining knowledge so that it can be shared and reused by design engineers to accelerate the design-make process of aerospace products.

TL;DR: A reference ontology that has been developed to enable the interoperation of software tools involved in the global production of new product-services systems (PSS) is put forward using a formal logic-based approach.
