openCAESAR Enables Ontological Modeling and Analysis
Systems are becoming more complex than ever before and this complexity will only increase. openCAESAR helps deal with this complexity by providing an advanced platform to design and implement a rigorous yet agile modeling and analysis methodology.
openCAESAR's Value Propositions
Integration of federated information via semantic web vocabularies
Improve the rigor of you system description using tool-neutral semantic vocabulies and viewpoints and map them to federated tool-specific counterparts using adapter interfaces.
Continuous automated multi-paradigm analysis via CI/CD workflows
Improve the agility of your practice by employing DevOps techniques to automate the analysis of your system descriptions using multiple techniques including consistency checking and others.
Precise change management via provenance metadata`
Establish a baseline for your integrated system description, manage change proposals using variant configurations, and calculate impact based on the provenance of the changes.

From the openCAESAR Team
Rigor is a distinguishing characteristic of engineering. It requires no further justification; it’s what good engineers do all the time.

Define Your Modeling Methodology and Support It With Tools
Information Architecture
Capture your information using tool-neutral open-world semantic-web vocabularies that are combined to specify closed-world model kinds, which in turn are aggregated into viewpoints that frame your stakeholders' concerns.
Information Authoring
Enable authoring federated information views that are governed by your enterprise viewpoints by adapting existing in-house or COTS tools or easily building new tools on a modern, extensible, and collaborative platform.
Information Integration
Design integration workflows for your federated information views that continuously check them for well-formedness and consistency, analyze their satisfaction of stakeholder concerns, and incrementally combine them into a unified system model that is baselined and protected.
Information Configuration Management
Manage design changes and enable trade studies by pulling information views from different proposal branches that get analyzed with the same integration workflows, while recording their provenance to enable full traceability of changes back to their authority.
Information Analysis
Support analyzing the information views with different analyses that are enabled by the semantic vocabularies, using a variety of in-house or COTS analysis tools, and using the insights to reason and possibly propose changes back to the views during integration sessions or in realtime.
Information Reporting
Design reporting viewpoints that communicate the results of analyzing the information views to your staholders using a variety of web-friendly formats and tools, and organize them in dashboards where they can easily be browsed or searched, subject to access control rules.
