Analyzing Ontology as a Facilitator During Global Requirements Elicitation

Global software development projects deal with a variety of challenges, particularly those concerning communication and language differences. Bearing this in mind, processes that are crucially based on communication, such as requirements elicitation, must be specially rethought to minimize critical situations. Since effective communication would help to reduce misunderstandings among stakeholders, and therefore help to achieve more committed requirements, we propose a framework for global requirements elicitation focused on minimizing the most frequent problems in GSD. Both the proposal and the preliminary results of a controlled experiment are presented in this paper.
