Abstract

In this paper, we introduce an ontology called Project AssetsOntology (PAO) that describe concepts of CMMI Maturity and Capabilitylevels, Generic and Specific Goals, Generic and Specific Practicesincluding concepts of Typical Work Products (an organization's projectassets) of 22 Process Areas that may be produced in a software developmentproject based on CMMI v.1.2 model. This ontology can be used toenable a CMMI Maturity/Capability assessment tool for automatic generationof metadata description that describe an organization's projectwork products. With the support of PAO and the generated metadatadescriptions, the tool can automatically perform a preliminary CMMIgap analysis, which can lead to time and cost reductions in assessing theCMMI Maturity/Capability level of the organization.
