Abstract :
The authors discuss the representational requirements for capturing and processing the conceptual knowledge about software descriptions. Software repositories should not only provide the service of managing evolving objects and software-related descriptions in integrated environments. This requires addressing the representational adequacy and semantics of present object management systems. Based on experiences gained in a series of computer-aided software engineering (CASE) integration projects, they point out abstractional, assertional, and dynamic clustering requirements of data modeling language for repository managers. A simple example illustrates how the deductive object management system ConceptBase, embodying Telos as its data model, meets these requirements
