An international effort is currently under way towards developing a Risk Based Accreditation (RBA) methodology for common VV&A frameworks for simulations and federations of simulations. Its goal is to better manage resources, to be able to account for risk and to support tailoring in the VV&A process. This work proposes an ontological implementation of the RBA methodology structure cleanly separating structure, from data in order to promote coherent tailoring, to generate reliable documentation and to facilitate future methodology upgrades. A few detailed examples were implemented with the Web Ontology Language (OWL) in order to demonstrate the basic implementation principles, however the RBA methodology is not yet finalized, and neither are the details of the individual RBA activities and tasks used for those examples.    «
