Abstract


The goal of software development in today's industry is to provide products meeting customer requirements at the lowest cost, the best quality and the shortest time. Design knowledge is needed, and cases and developer’s experiences should be utilized at most as possible. In addition, software development is becoming increasingly knowledge intensive and collaborative. In this situation, the need for an integrated know-how, know-why and know-what to support the representation, capture, share, and reuse of knowledge among distributed professional actors becomes more critical. Our approach consists in studying each stage of the process of software development and defining knowledge necessary to capitalize in order to organize the project memory based on domain ontology. Afterwards, the development of such knowledge base will be used to help professional actors to accomplish their task in bringing knowledge of past projects.
