Abstract
A component selector may select a first software component stored in a software component library in conjunction with a first annotation, the first annotation being linked to a second annotation of a second software component via a link. An evaluation engine may evaluate a property expressed by the first annotation relative to a requirement expressed by the second annotation, and thereby verify compliance of the first software component and the second software component for inclusion within a software application being developed. A component update monitor may re-verify the compliance, based on an update to at least one of the first software component and the second software component.
