FOLKUS-SD: Bulding folksonomies from source code in collaborative software development

This paper presents the FOLKUS-SD a module of CSCW-SD, intend to build Folksonomies from source codes. The CSCW-SD is an architecture to integrate tools in a development environment through a Multi-Agent System. The Folksonomies are built using dynamic data collected during codification. The Folksonomies' entities are represented by the module as: the users are the developers, the tags are names of classes, methods and attributes, and the resources are source codes. The Folksonomies can be used for software documentation. The Folksonomies produced by FOLKUS-SD can be used in the software documentation for monitoring the status of some project and to get quantitative data about the project and its participants.
