Patent attributes
A method and system for populating multi-layer technology product catalogs are provided. The method includes scanning an environment and executing a software project to collect hints on technology products required for the execution of the software project; mapping the collected hints to identifiers of technology products to identify technology products required for the execution of the software project; analyzing each of the identified technology products to determine a set of descriptors identifying certain attributes of a technology product; classifying each of the identified technology products to at least one technology layer, wherein a technology layer represents the functionality of a technology product; populating a technology product catalog to include a plurality of entries, wherein each entry is associated with a single technology product and maintains the set of descriptors and the at least one technology layer associated with the technology product; and saving the populated technology product catalog in a database.
