Team: towards a software engineering semantic web

Large software development projects are complex endeavours that involve numerous participants which can work across several sites and act in various roles. Each participant produces and consumes information relevant for the success of the project. In such settings, an effective and efficient allocation of knowledge is a hard challenge, especially if there is no central authority, which enforces standards for the whole ecosystem. We consider semantic technologies as an important enabler to improve information and knowledge sharing in such scenarios, by helping to exchange and interconnect software engineering knowledge across the web. In this paper, we describe the corresponding vision of a Software Engineering Semantic Web and the role of intelligent IDEs in order to benefit from and contribute to it.
