Business process ontology for defining user story

Abstract

Writing a user story is essential to communicate with end users and developers. It is popular practices found in most agile methodologies. Therefore, to reuse the user stories from the previous successful projects becomes necessary. In this paper, we propose the business process ontology for defining user story. The ontology is a knowledge base designed to collect the user stories in term of N-triple. The ontology schema is designed using classes and hierarchy relation along with the properties according to Role-Action-Object relations. We introduce the synonym property to simplify and reduce the number of the nodes in the ontology as well. Finally, we demonstrate how to initially populate and build the ontology from the historical user stories.
