Systems-of-Systems (SoS) represent an emerging research field in the Software Engineering area. In particular, SoS refer to systems that make possible the interoperability of distributed, complex systems, cooperating among them to reach a common mission. Several SoS have already been developed and used, but there is no consensus about diverse terms and concepts in this field, what can make difficult the communication among different stakeholders involved in the development and evolution of SoS, besides lacking of a standardization and common understanding among researchers and practitioners. This Masters project established OntoSoS, an ontology to formalize terms and concepts in the SoS field, expliciting and allowing sharing and reuse of knowledge contained in such ontology. As a result, this project intends to contribute to the field of SoS, also supporting activities related to SoS Engineering. It is also expected that this ontology can serve as a learning material in courses related to SoS. / Sistemas-de-Sistemas (do inglês, Systems-of-Systems ou simplesmente SoS) representam um campo emergente de pesquisa na Engenharia de Software. Em particular, SoS referem-se a sistemas que possibilitam a interoperabilidade de sistemas complexos, distribuídos, cooperando entre si para atingir uma missão comum. Diversos SoS têm sido desenvolvidos e utilizados, mas não há um consenso sobre os diversos termos e conceitos nesse campo, o que pode dificultar a comunicação entre os diferentes interessados envolvidos no desenvolvimento e evolução dos SoS, além da falta de padronização e entendimento comum entre pesquisadores e profissionais. Este projeto de Mestrado estabeleceu a OntoSoS, uma ontologia para formalizar termos e conceitos no campo de SoS, explicitando e permitindo o compartilhamento e reúso do conhecimento contido na ontologia. Como resultado, este projeto pretende contribuir para o campo de SoS, auxiliando também nas atividades relacionadas à Engenharia de SoS. É também esperado que essa ontologia possa servir como um material de ensino em cursos relacionados à Engenharia de SoS.
