Integration of ontologies with decentralized autonomousorganizations development: A systematic review

During the last years, the industry has been experiencing an increasing interest of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), which has become a reference approach in blockchain-based decentralized software system development. DAOs are seen as a good alternative to become a business model truly global, reliable and transparent. However, the guidelines and models that provide support for the adoption and development of DAOs are almost non-existent and they are in natural language or graphical representations, both lacking the computational semantics needed to enable their automated validation,simulation or execution. This paper presents a systematic review of the literature related to the integration of ontologies into the DAO development process. The objective of this paper is to provide an unbiased and up-to-date framework that helps software development researchers identify new research activities and take advantage of this integration based on business models and blockchain-based decentralized technologies perspectives.
