Abstract
Knowledge is one of the organization’s most valuable assets. In the context of software development, knowledge management can be used to capture knowledge and experience generated during the software process. In this process, collaboration technologies also play a central role. With groupware facilities, we have the basis for creating, increasing and capturing knowledge from group and organizational collaboration. First in this paper, we discuss the importance of knowledge management in software development, and how knowledge management and groupware facilities can be integrated into a software development environment (SDE). Then, we present an infrastructure to manage knowledge in ODE, an Ontology-based software Development Environment. This infrastructure deals with several knowledge items, including artifacts, lessons learned and packages of discussion, and considers knowledge capture, store, retrieval, dissemination, use and maintenance.
