Product Fragment Management in Collaborative Model Driven Development through Enriched Semantics

Management of product constituent fragments is essential for large scale logically or physically distributed projects. Geographically distributed development projects have special settings and needs – special attention has to be given to product fragments management because developers are likely to use different representation formats and a variety of tools for the artefacts production. The question is: how can fragments in different representation formats be related and managed? The objective is to develop a cohesive framework to facilitate the coordination and management of the development process, and methodological approach for integration and manipulation of all information produced during the project.
