A Self-adaptive Interoperable Classification Framework for Software Component

In software engineering research area, component-based software development has been the core technology of it. But, management of software component repository is a challenge, which will restrict the development of this technology. Especially, the current component registry and repository framework can not be adapted to the complicated information structure of component repository and high demands of construction, management and reuse of it. To solve it, a simple, open and self-adaptive framework for registry and classification of software component - classification meta framework - is proposed in the paper according to the current international standards and their commonness based on the meta modeling method. First, problems in the current frameworks for registry and classification of software component are analyzed. Then the structure diagrams and the using examples of the framework are provided. Last, performance analysis and comparison are given to prove that the framework can solve the existing problems to some degree.
