Formalising language clarifies risk management in engineering, suggesting better understanding of safety and security concerns.
The use of natural language in engineering and specifically, engineering risk management, is often problematic due to assumed meanings and usage contexts of domain terms, with the result that misunderstandings can arise. Dave Banham provides an introduction to a formalised structure of words ? an ontology ? by which, at least, the risks arising from system safety and security concerns can be described unambiguously using a common language.
