IT Governance Ontology Building Process : Example of developing Audit Ontology

This article aims at building ontology based on COBIT Framework named: “AuditOntology”, to be used in an IT Governance solution, through this implementation, IT Governance Ontology building process will be proposed in order to be used for other frameworks Ontologies. In fact, the ontological meta-modelling is nowadays, a necessity for every discipline to share concepts and terms and to annotate information. It clarifies knowledge structure for better understanding of domain vocabulary and entities relationship. Ontologies are often made for reasoning purposes; there engineering benefits are about stakeholders’ communication, systems interoperability and reusability. Till now, there is no IT Governance ontology with a scientific foundation to be deployed on AI software solutions or conceptual modelling so the main goal of this work is to propose ontology based on COBIT Framework in Web Ontology Language using particular life cycle steps.
