Abstract

Many methods for representing software components for reuse have been proposed. These include traditional library and information science methods, knowledge-based methods, and hypertext. The paper surveys and categorizes these methods, and discusses systems in which they have been used. A definition and conceptual framework of software reuse representations is proposed that relates these methods to each other and to the software life-cycle.
