Abstract :
Maintenance is an important phase in software life cycle. Ontology provides a uniform representation for various software artifacts; it also enables us to utilize semantic information conveyed by these artifacts and to establish their traceability links at semantic level. Combining description logics with Jena, this paper develops a Jena-DL component to access domain ontology. With Jena-DL, software maintenance ontology can be changed based on description logics.
