Supporting project-centered reuse in object-oriented software development

The documents of a software project provide rich resources for reuse if the reusable assets are well documented in them. The resources are particularly useful for the development of a software family in the same application domain. In the paper, some limitations of current object-oriented methods for documenting reusable assets are discussed, and a new method for enhancing documents is provided and analyzed. Then, the needs for navigation in documents are discussed.
