Abstract
The objective of this article is a way of working that is used as an instrument for managing the parts with semantic and conceptual elements, such as mastery of management projects, and the effects of ontological engineering techniques, which solves frequently asked questions with respect to information related to this resource. This is done in an agile, precise, and effective way, facilitating its management in the phases that make up the life cycle of the project. The research will contribute to the integration of ontological engineering and project management, enabling the construction of a stakeholder information structure with semantic components that enable it to be the input of a more complex knowledge management model.

Specifying Artificial Institutions in the Event Calculus
A conceptual device that allows one to abstract from individual agents when they interact within an institutional framework. For example, we may have the roles of auctioneer and participant in an auction, boss or employee in a company, debtor and creditor of a commitment, etc. Coherently with these examples, a role may be viewed as a label that can be used in place of the identifier of a specific agent in the design of an institution. Roles connect agents to institutional entities like: a specific institutional agent or organization (e.g., an auction house or a university), an institutional activity (e.g., a run of an auction), or an institutional relationship (e.g., a commitment or a state of ownership).

Gifted and Talented School Activities for Students With Special Educational Needs Through Drama Therapy
As both an individual and a social being, all of us take different roles in real life. A mother is also a daughter, a wife, a teacher, a dean, a volunteer etc. We spend a large part of everyday acting out some chosen roles and wear clothes and behave we consider to be appropriate to that role. If we are not able to move between a wide range of roles, then often we get trapped in a single role which can prove to be inappropriate for certain situations.

Grounding Organizations in the Minds of the Agents
The role is what a member, an agent, is supposed (or better prescribed) to do within a multi-agent plan, and within an organization; the set of assigned goals, duties, powers, assumptions. His ‘part’, or ‘share’; his ‘mansion’ and contribution to the global outcome. A role is something to be dressed, to be ‘interpreted’; a mask, a character: the agent becomes a “role player”.
