abstract: >-
[Background.] Empirical research in requirements
engineering (RE) is a constantly evolving topic, with a
growing number of publications. Several papers address
this topic using literature reviews to provide a snapshot
of its "current" state and evolution. However, these
papers have never built on or updated earlier ones,
resulting in overlap and redundancy. The underlying
problem is the unavailability of data from earlier works.
Researchers need technical infrastructures to conduct
sustainable literature reviews. [Aims.] We examine the use
of the Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG) as such an
infrastructure to build and publish an initial Knowledge
Graph of Empirical research in RE (KG-EmpiRE) whose data
is openly available. Our long-term goal is to continuously
maintain KG-EmpiRE with the research community to
synthesize a comprehensive, up-to-date, and long-term
available overview of the state and evolution of empirical
research in RE. [Method.] We conduct a literature review
using the ORKG to build and publish KG-EmpiRE which we
evaluate against competency questions derived from a
published vision of empirical research in software
(requirements) engineering for 2020 -- 2025. [Results.]
From 570 papers of the IEEE International Requirements
Engineering Conference (2000 -- 2022), we extract and
analyze data on the reported empirical research and answer
16 out of 77 competency questions. These answers show a
positive development towards the vision, but also the need
for future improvements. [Conclusions.] The ORKG is a
ready-to-use and advanced infrastructure to organize data
from literature reviews as knowledge graphs. The resulting
knowledge graphs make the data openly available and
maintainable by research communities, enabling sustainable
literature reviews.
