abstract = {The state-of-the-art in mining software repositories
stores software artifacts from various sources into
monolithic relational databases. This puts a lot of
querying power in the hands of the software miners,
however it comes at the cost of enclosing the data
and hamper cross-application reuse. In this paper we
discuss four problem scenarios to illustrate that
Semantic Web technology is able to overcome these
limitations. However, it requires that the software
engineering research community agrees on two
prerequisites: (a) a common vocabulary to talk about
software repositories --- an ontology; (b) a strategy
for generating unique and stable references to all
software artifacts inside such a repository --- a
Universal Resource Identifier (URI).},
