Abstract
SPEM is metamodel based standard used to define software and systems development processes and their components. Unfortunately, its architecture is semiformal, thus it is not possible to make and to verify created language statements with formal techniques such as the consistency or satisfiability verification. Recently, the combination of MDA and the Semantic Web, in which data processing is concerned with regard to their semantics, become the leading subject in this direction. In this work we present a SPEM transformation to the Semantic Web technical space and consequently we propose its utilization that is an ontology based approach to software project enactment with a supplier. We discuss its usage scenarios that are a verification of a set of SPEM methods and processes with ontology, and a project plan generation and verification with a set of SPEM method plugin ontologies. Additionally we present examples that addresses to the proposed usage scenarios.
