Ontology-based documentation extraction for semi-automatic migration of Java code
Davide Ancona, Viviana Mascardi, Ombretta Pavarino · 2012
Migrating libraries is not a trivial task, even under the simplest assumption of a downward compatible upgrade. We propose a novel approach to partially relieve programmers from this task, based on the simple observation that class, method and field names and comments contained in a Java library should be a good approximation of its semantics, and that code migration requires knowing the semantic similarities between the two libraries.
