Differing perspectives, processes, methods, tools, vocabularies, and standards are problems that arise in this context. We present an approach to support bringing together disciplines based on a common body of knowledge (CBK), in which knowledge from different disciplines is collected, integrated, and structured. The novelty of our approach is twofold: first, it introduces a CBK ontology, which allows one to semantically enrich contents in order to be able to query the CBK in a more elaborate way afterwards. Second, it heavily relies on user participation in building up a CBK, making use of the Semantic MediaWiki as a platform to support collaborative writing. The CBK ontology is backed by a conceptual framework, consisting of concepts to structure the knowledge, to provide access options to it, and to build up a common terminology. To ensure a high quality of the provided contents and to sustain the community's commitment, we further present organizational means as part of our approach. We demonstrate our work using the example of a Network of Excellence EU project, which aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from services computing, security and software engineering.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchwittekSchmidtBeckersetal.2012, author = {Schwittek, Widura and Schmidt, Holger and Beckers, Kristian and Eicker, Stefan and Faßbender, Stephan and Heisel, Maritta}, title = {A Common Body of Knowledge for Engineering Secure Software and Services}, series = {2012 Seventh International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security}, volume = {NESSoS, ICT-2009.1.4 Trustworthy ICT, Grant No. 25698}, booktitle = {2012 Seventh International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Prague}, isbn = {978-1-4673-2244-7}, doi = {10.1109/ARES.2012.31}, pages = {499 -- 506}, year = {2012}, abstract = {The discipline of engineering secure software and services brings together researchers and practitioners from software, services, and security engineering.
