  abstract =	"This paper is based on and advocates the trend in
		 software engineering of extending the use of software
		 patterns as means of structuring solutions to software
		 development problems (be they motivated by best
		 practice or by company interests and policies). The
		 paper argues that, on the one hand, this development
		 requires tools for automatic organisation, retrieval
		 and explanation of software patterns. On the other
		 hand, that the existence of such tools itself will
		 facilitate the further development and employment of
		 patterns in the software development process. The paper
		 analyses existing pattern representations and concludes
		 that they are inadequate for the kind of automation
		 intended here. Adopting a standpoint similar to that
		 taken in the semantic web, the paper proposes that
		 feasible solutions can be built on the basis of
		 ontological representations.",
