AK-Finder - Architectural Knowledge Finder


The AK-Finder (Architectural Knowledge Finder) tool sends queries to the SPARQL query endpoint of ArchiMind semantic wiki (see below).

The SPARQL queries retrieve architectural knowledge to support design and development activities and answer questions from an approach for architecture documentation review by the SEI.

The AK-Finder tool exemplifies retrieval of architectural knowledge as Linked Open Data.

AK-Finder can be freely adapted/reused under the GPL license to integrate the code in modelling, CASE, and IDE tools used in the software project lifecycle.

ArchiMind semantic wiki is accessible at http://www.archimind.nl/archimindLOD/ and its source code can be found at https://github.com/kadevgraaf/ArchiMind.
