Abstract

In this paper, we use Description Logic based classification and taxonomical similarity computations for facilitating software reuse. For this purpose we map a metamodelling-based software representation to an ontology. The ontology is classified by a Description Logic reasoner, which makes implicit taxonomical relations explicit. This classification is the basis for the computation of taxonomical similarity. The approach is tested with several industrial software applications.
