CONCEPT OF INFORMATION-SEARCH SYSTEM (ON THE BASIS OF ONTOLOGIES) FOR THE DOMAIN OF SOFTWARE QUALITY

Abstract

The search for information is one of the main components of human activity. The ideal information retrieval system should issue only
documents that are relevant to the request. Today, real information retrieval systems provide a completeness factor of 70%, and a search accuracy factor – at a level sometimes even 10%. Thus, the well-known information retrieval systems are currently unable to meet the modern needs of users.
The global trend in the processing of large arrays of information, which allows you to solve new classes of problems based on available
information resources, is the intellectualization of information and data processing. As a standard of knowledge engineering in the development of information retrieval systems, it is worthwhile to use ontologies that are widely used in the work of search engines and information retrieval systems, as ontologies are an effective tool for organizing a semantic search. The use of ontologies as part of information retrieval systems helps to solve a number of methodological and technological problems that arise during the development of such systems. Given the fact that software is the basis of all modern areas of business, and achieving high values of its quality is a key factor in ensuring the effective use of software and one of the main requirements of users and stakeholders for modern software, the purpose of this study is to develop an effective information retrieval system (based on ontologies) for the software quality industry. The paper proposes the concept of information retrieval system (based on ontologies) for the field of software quality, in particular, the ontology of the subject area of software quality is developed, which reflects the semantic relationships between the concepts of the subject area and will form the basis of a search of information about software quality, in particular, the basis of the thesaurus of the future information retrieval system.
