as management, risk, or threats. In (LeClair et al.,
2019; LeClair et al., 2020), we find several ontology
modularization techniques. The dimensionalities in-
troduced in this paper could play a significant role in
support of methods such as the view traversal modu-
larization technique. ontology metrics of prot

eg

e edi-
tor are considered. Our future work aims at exploring
further enrichment of the current ontologies with con-
cepts and relationship extracted from other sources
such as ISO standards, wiki-data, and several other
corpuses. Our objective is to have the most current
and complete IS ontology.
We plan to use other ontology evaluation metrics
like precision, recall and f-measure to more evalu-
ate the performance of our ontology generation ap-
proach. Furthermore, we aim to use the proposed
ontology combined with DIS formalism (Marinache
et al., 2021) in analysing security-log data to learn
about the security situation surrounding the system
under consideration.
