Improvement of QSL by Ontologies of E-Questionnaire, E-Testing, and E-Voting Systems

QSL is the first specification language for specifying various e-questionnaire, e-testing, and e-voting systems. Although the terminologies among systems and services of e-questionnaire, e-testing, and e-voting are different, QSL has explicitly summed up three kinds of terminologies into one, so that causes QSL has poor usability. The ontologies to summarize the terminologies in e-questionnaire, e-testing, and e-voting systems, to find out the corresponding relations with terminology of QSL, and to clarify the relations of e-questionnaire, e-testing, and e-voting systems can improve usability of QSL, so that the stakeholders can communicate and write requirement specifications easily. However, there is no ontology of e-questionnaire, e-testing, and e-voting systems. This paper proposes the ontologies for e-questionnaire, e-testing, and e-voting systems. Based on the ontologies, we present the improvement of QSL, so that stakeholders can use arbitrary specific terminologies to specify the requirement specifications for other kinds of systems and services.
