A Concept-Oriented Approach to Support Software Maintenance and Reuse Activities
Dirk Deridder · 2002
A major activity in software development is to obtain knowledge and insights about the application domain. Even though this is supported by a wide range of tools and techniques, a lot of knowledge remains implicit in the resulting artefacts (e.g. class diagrams). Examples of such implicit knowledge are amongst others the links between the different artefacts, the knowledge that is lost as a result of iterative refinements, and the knowledge that is regarded common sense by the involved parties.
