Abstract

In this paper we describe how to improve method reusability in a metaCASE environment called MetaEdit+. The suggested component based approach helps unify design artefacts into components with explicit interfaces and meaningful context descriptions. We describe a method artefact from three perspectives: concept, content, and context. We create a component concept by using a hierarchical facet-based schema, and represent contextual relationship types by using definitional and reuse dependency, usage context, and implementation context links. This is the first attempt to explicitly define components into a metaCASE environment.
