Abstract
A method and apparatus for producing standardized software specifications and software products involves analyzing an existing software product subject to reuse to produce analysis information. From this analysis information, groups of data mutually having the same contents, and identified as the same meaning data, are detected. Each of the groups is then assigned a standard data name and standard attributes, thus producing standard information. Names of data belonging to the groups of same meaning data in the analysis information are converted into the corresponding standard data names and standard attributes based on the standard information, to produce standard software specifications. A standardized software product is similarly produced based on the standard information.
