Code Analyzer 1.0

This utility program is a code analyzer and semantic mapping application. The application can read source code files and parse them to determine what the most important words or concepts in the method headings are. This information is then used to allow the user to enhance these method descriptions with standard descriptions from online dictionaries. This would be useful, for example, if the code was an interface to a Web-based service. The method name, return type and parameter descriptions can all be updated with additional descriptions or keywords, that can then be read and understood by another program or human user. The key features are as follows:

1. Parse source code or WSDL to determine the key words or concepts.
2. Retrieve standard online definitions of keywords to enhance metadata descriptions.
3. Save the enhanced descriptions in an XML file to be added to a Web service interface.
4. Use the enhanced description to allow for autonomous search or communication.

While some knowledge and skill is required to determine what keywords and definitions to use, this application largely automates the process, making it much easier for the writer of the service to do this. The other advantage of this mechanism is the fact that the descriptions are based on standard definitions retrieved from online dictionaries. These can even be checked if the web address is known. This is therefore a ready-made standard for defining your web service interface that can relatively easily be utilised.
