TAO Semantic-based software engineering 

 

 

Description

We have developed a semantic-based prototype, on the basis of GATE – widely used open-source software project.

 

The goal of this prototype is to explore the methods for assisting distributed, dynamic groups of software developers and users to learn and maintain this system without major effort, through the application of semantic web technologies.

 

As the core of any semantic-enabled system is in ontologies, we first acquired the domain ontology semi-automatically from the GATE source code, documentation, manuals and other software artefacts.

 

The domain ontology is used for the semantic content augmentation process, to annotate automatically all software artefacts.

 

The results are stored in a semantic annotation repository to enable users to carry out semantic searches and easily find all information relevant to a given GATE concept.
