Abstract
The evolution of the Semantic Graphics Framework from prototype to a base framework for more than ten industrial applications is reflected upon. The framework approach is regarded as a success, over a period of several years, solutions for various business units could be implemented and significant commercial impact has been achieved. The evolution of the framework is considered from the perspectives architecture, documentation and organizational issues. We summarize our experience with controlling the evolution of an object oriented framework in form of propositions.
