For software reuse, a wide range of software descriptions are exploited in the ESPRIT Practitioner Project. Word patterns and outlines constitute the conventional document-oriented descriptions, whereas thesauri and questionnaires form the hypertext-oriented descriptions. The Practitioner consortium has developed and tested a set of tools to support this wide range of approaches to software reuse. Furthermore, all the phases of reuse, i.e. organising, retrieving and reorganising, have been applied to documents from throughout the software life-cycle.
