Email Common Weaknesses and Enumeration Through Software Customer Perspective

Abstract

Ontology represents a best tool for knowledge management, concepts definitions and semantic search. It is considered a successful style work to organize and manage the knowledge in a single given domain. This paper is an attempt to establish knowledge base for email weaknesses using ontology, which represents a best method for illustrating relationships among Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) email entries as defined by MITRE Corporation Weakness List Dictionary. The ontology usage is demonstrated with sufficient samples of queries by analyzing email software products weaknesses according to software customer point of view. This work is based on the MITRE community effort CWE List, Version 3.1 - Research Concept view CWE-1000, the effort in this work is limited by software customer perspective.
