An Ontology-Based Approach to Use Requirements Engineering in Portals of Transparency

For information technology professionals can develop systems that assist in governance and in meeting the obligations given by the legislation, they need to understand the conceptual basis involved in the complex areas of the problems experienced by local governments. The lack of standardized concepts complicates the process and elicitation of validation requirements for the development of new software systems.Given this reality, we present an ontology for bids and administrative contracts and propose a form of application of this ontology in the activities of Requirements Engineering. This will provide software engineers an alternative way to verify the elicited requirements seeking to ensure that the software meets the needs of public administration, as the obligations foreseen in law.
