Abstract

Object modelling provides a rich mechanism for representing analysis concepts. Reuse is a critical activity for commercial organisations anxious to reduce development costs. A significant problem for CASE is the absence of application sensitive mechanics for searching tool repositories. By enhancing the semantics of an Object Model with the descriptive qualities of Repertory Grid this paper proposes an Application Sensitive and semantically rich method for locating re-usable object model components within a CASE Repository.
