Using REFSENO to represent knowledge in the software maintenance process

Many papers describe ontological designs but few of them explain how the ontology may be implemented. This paper describes how ontology to represent software maintenance knowledge was specified by using the REFSENO methodology. The paper also explains the use of similarity functions to compare products and requirements in order to reuse previous solutions and lessons learned.
