DC2AP: A Dublin Core Application Profile to Analysis Patterns

摘要

Analysis patterns are reusable computational artifacts, aimed at the analysis stage of the process of software development. Although the analysis patterns can facilitate the work of analysts and programmers adding value through reuse of proven useful and tested ideas, the access to them is still very poor because of the way they are usually described and made available. In order to reduce these deficiencies, supporting cataloging and encouraging the reuse of analysis patterns, it was proposed the Analysis Patterns Reuse Infrastructure (APRI). This infrastructure comprises a repository of analysis patterns documented through a specific metadata profile and accessed via web services. Based on the proposal of APRI, this article presents the specific metadata profile to the documentation of analysis patterns called Dublin Core Application Profile to Analysis Patterns (DC2AP).
