REQUIREMENTS FOR A QUALITY MEASUREMENT INSTRUMENT FOR SEMANTIC STANDARDS

This study describes requirements for an instrument to measure the quality of semantic standards. A situational requirements engineering method was used, resulting in a goal-tree in which requirements are structured. This structure shows requirements related to the input of the instrument; stating that the instrument should be useful for a set of different semantic standards. It also shows that the instrument should be efficient and especially easy to use. Finally there a set of requirements related to the outcome of the instrument, stressing that a high quality outcome is important, including improvement suggestions. Based on this set of requirements a foundation for the design phase has been created.
