Component Modeling for Classification and Retrieval : A Comparison of Previous Works

Recently, I am working on a small Lab. project about a novel approach for component storage and retrieval to assist component reuse in CBSD. In the domain analysis phase, some component modeling approaches were surveyed and compared. They were organized (ordered by publication year) in following table for anyone interested.

It amazed me that the graph-based approach had been applied since 1992, although the approach in [Ostertag1992] was far from similar with recent researches.Most of them are functionality-based classification, only very few associated with non-funcitionall qualities. The knowledge-based approach seems to be an interesting direction based on these previous influential functionality-based approaches.
