English Abstract
In this work we tried to solve the problem that faces software engineers in understanding and modeling requirements for e-government applications, since they are facing some problems when they intend to define the domain concepts and terms clearly and in a shared manner between them, in this thesis we focus on studying the Requirements Engineering Process in E-Government Applications (REPEGAs) concepts and terminologies that current REPEGAs proposals present, in order to extract a conceptualization for the REPEGAs domain.
We collected and studied many documents and reports that discussed REPEGAs in their contents, we extracted, studied, evaluated, and enhanced an ontology domain concepts from the most common concepts used in the semantic of the collected documents.
Later we extracted and presented general relationships between the suggested ontology concepts.
Those presented concepts along with the extracted relationships are introduced as an ontology that is considered as a first in the specific domain of REPEGAs.
We condensed a lot of concepts used to define the most common discussed and studied REPEGAs into a smaller set of concepts consists of some concepts; this ontology can be used by software engineers, researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders as a common agreement of REPEGAs pool of knowledge in order to solve the inconsistency problem in the semantic between them while defining or using any of the definitions of the discussed REPEGAs.
In addition, our ontology provides a base to evaluate any related definition semantic for one of the studied attributes.
