for filtering candidate CPs is necessary in order to exploit at best the evolv-
ing repositories of CPs. For addressing this type of needs, we have developed
a NeOn Toolkit plugin, named “XD tool”, that currently support CP brows-
ing, annotation, and specialization. Furthermore, it provides APIs for pluggin-in
components that implement matching algorithms. A lot of work is still ongoing,
including the development of two components supporting matching/selection
of CPs. As future work, we have planned to continue with XD tool develop-
ment, and to conduct frequent user studies in order to evaluate and improve the
methodology as well as to collect feedback and suggestions on the XD tool.
