Abstract

[Context & motivation] Stakeholders participation is recognized as a key issue in the development of useful and usable systems. The Web has given rise to a growing number of collaborative working tools that facilitated the participation of stakeholders (and especially end-users). These tools create new opportunities of practice regarding requirement elicitation. [Question/problem] Nevertheless, they result in an information overload lacking structure and semantics. Consequently, requirements analysis and selection becomes more challenging. [Principal ideas/results] In this paper, we propose an approach based on semantic web languages as well as concept lattices to identify relevant groups of stakeholders depending on their past participation. [Contribution] These groups can be used to enable facilitated decision-making and handling of requirements. We detail the different steps and the possible configurations, using an example inspired by a collaborative software development environment.
