A lack of design information can be a significant barrier for systems developers when developing and reusing a component. This paper tackles this problem by presenting and exemplifying the conceptual framework of component context and its hypertext representation in a metaCASE environment. It discusses the linking of contextual knowledge to components in systems analysis and design. The contextual knowledge includes the conceptual dependencies of component definition, reuse, and implementation, as well as the reasoning and rationale behind design and reuse processes. We also illustrate the hypertext approach to contextual knowledge representation that enables designers to express, record, explore, recognize, and negotiate their shared context within a metaCASE environment. |
